    Wanted: 70 455 Dash Pot. New old stock or really good used one.
    This is the disk shaped part with a plunger & spring and a threaded
    shaft that sits on the intake manifold and touches the linkage on the drivers side of the carb.
    Thanks , Eric

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    Do you have the mounting brkt?
    Local yard has a 70 Olds with one on it. I believe Olds used
    a different mounting bracket.

    Think I have one...

    Eric:

    I have a dashpot from a 1970 LeSabre or Electra (can't remember which) that I used as a parts car several years ago. It was a 4 door car with a 455.

    This dashpot is about 4" in diameter, maybe 2.5 inches thick, it has the chain and the mounting bracket for the intake manifold. I tested the diaphragm and it still functions perfectly. Unfortunately it has some red paint on it. I believe it's for the cruise control. If this is the part you need just let me know where to send it, don't want any money for it.

    Paul,

    I apologize for uncovering such an old post... You don't happen to have that dashpot still... do you?

    My Riv needs one.
