Thread: Base plates for 2gc's

Here's a pretty good tutorial on how to do it on a Quadrajet.

Just extract the information that applies to your 2-bbl and use it to your advantage. For bushings, you might try a hobby shop. They usually have several different sizes of brass tubing. Take the throttle shaft with you and see if you can find a piece with an inner diameter that will fit snugly over the throttle shaft. Drill the base plate out to the outside diameter of the brass tubing.

Lacking that, go to any jewelry store. They usually have a small lathe that can turn out small parts like this from brass or oilite. Secure the bushings in the base plate with a dab of JB Weld on the O.D. of the bushing. (rough up the O.D. with some sandpaper to provide some "tooth" for the epoxy).
