    Hi guys, a mate has just imported a 50 buck tooth into the UK , we have it running but the throttle linkage keeps falling off, looks like a clip missing, have you any suggestions to Buick parts dealers please

    I would think that quite a few GM cars would use a similar clip, but I realize being in the UK complicates things. Good luck and I like the "Buck Tooth" nickname.
     
  3. You probably need one of these...

    These are pretty generic, used by almost all the OEMs. Search 'throttle linkage clip'.

    These things go both ways so order a left and right to cover all bases.

    I bought a 50 Buick this spring and had the same issue. I had to install a new throttle ball joint. Easy to find. I think mine was 1/4 inch 26 thread size. Something like this. I know that parts stores around here have them.
