    I appreciate you trying to help gsgeorge3 I think BuickV8Mike may have a bracket and I'm going to check with Napa to see about a pot.

    So the Napa up here in Canada is apparently different than the US ones and has nothing to go by in way of ordering a dashpot. So back to square one again! Do you still have a bracket BuickV8Mike that you could sell?

    JACKPOT!! so I was looking through my box of parts that I stripped off my 70 block that I'm building and came across a dashpot bracket. Now all I need is a dashpot. Also came across this other bracket can anyone tell me what it's for??

    The 72's didn't use a dashpot on the throttle arm, they used an "idle stop" solenoid. If interested, I've probably got an extra NOS one.

    Ok thank you good to know, that helps me narrow down my search. My car probably doesn't have the wiring for an idlestop solenoid since it's a 69 Riv and the engines I have are a 70&72 455. I appreciate your offer but I'll just keep it simple/mechancical with a dashpot.
