Thank you David.  I have made the adjustments to the accelerator linkage
as described on Bentley Page 37.13.  One Problem:  How do you get the
override spring back on.  I have the right e-clip ready to go, but I
can't push the spring in enough to leave enough space at the end of the
rod to put the e-clip on.  Is there a special tool required to compress
the spring?
