New 142

[142 Guy]

Did you get the Yoshifab replacement 24-1 trigger wheel? If not, you definitely will want that. Did you purchase a new sensor or were you able to find one from a salvage yard? They are getting really pricey. When I did my MS2Extra install back in 2017 I purchased a brand new OEM sensor for a 1993 Hyundai Sonata for around $55 Cdn. That particular ship seems to have definitely set sail.

I don't know what the availability of salvage 140s is like in GB. If you could find a salvage 140 or 164 that was originally equipped with D jet, grabbing that linkage should offer a relatively easy solution to connecting up to your D jet manifold. Replacement cables are available. The ball joint in the mechanism may have worn; but, that should not present an issue for an enterprising individual. The linkage for my car is mounted on the right side of the firewall so it sort of looks like it should accommodate LHS or RHS with just a change of the actual pedal mechanism.

Does your 140 currently have the gas pedal that is hinged on the floor and presses on an L shaped piece of tubing? If so, all you might need is the D jet specific linkage that mounts on the firewall

Yes.

Been looking but stuff all about. Ah I've not seen a new 140 cable, will have a search.

I don't know is the problem, car is parked up for winter and don't want to move it until I have to. I have a few options worked out so just need to see how my pedal is mounted.

Does your accelerator cable connect to the pedal with this clip or direct to the pedal like the 240s do you know?

I have attached the parts arrangement for the throttle linkage on my B20E. It looks like the throttle pedal part (parts #1 right up to #21) appear to be identical for the carb and D jet cars.

It is parts #22 - 30 that attach to the firewall that are D jet specific. Note that the diagram is misleading. Based upon the orientation of the gas pedal, the diagram implies that the bracket and linkage are mounted on the inside of the firewall. #26 and #21 need to be rotated 180 deg around the vertical axis to be in their correct orientation. If you are interested, I might have a photo from disassembly of my car showing the linkage on the firewall.

The throttle cable has a clevis on both ends

That clip you show is 677218 and it definitely secures the throttle cable clevis at the throttle body mechanism. I believe that it is the same clip that secures the cable clevis at the crank mechanism on the firewall; but, it has been so long since I intentionally 'looked' at it I can't be sure. The parts diagram implies that the cable is retained at the firewall by magic.

If you can scrounge parts #22 and #26 that would likely be the quick path to dealing with your throttle linkage

Excellent thanks, so totally different to the 240. A pic would be great if you have one.

I haven’t been able to source a E cable bracket but I have maybe found the next best a automatic kick down bracket, would need a bit of a mod but certainly workable and result similar to the E setup. Needs to be turned 90degrees.

Pictures taken as I was disassembling the car and putting parts into bags and boxes.

Excellent thanks. Interesting that it faces sideways as well rather than forward.

Well Rob at Amazon cars has pulled the rabbit out of the hat and has a e bracket and cable.. Fantastic.
