Hey all!
Did my valve cover gasket, half moons, spark plugs, spark plug wires, spark plug seals, distributor cap, distributor rotor, and distributor O ring today. Feels like I got hit by a train but mission complete—almost.
At the very end of assembling everything, of course, I dropped a nut attached to the throttle/accelerator/transmission cable housing. I have no idea what dimension it traveled to, but I can’t find it. Ironically, I didn’t even need to remove it in the first place, but I was wrenching around to try and find how to get the throttle body off (stupid, I know, but this is my first rodeo with anything engine related). I’ve been searching around, but does anyone know what this nut is, if there’s a suitable common substitute, and if I’m safe to drive without it?
