Has anyone seen this U&J part before? It is a sleeve for a dash/firewall control rod. Someone had installed it on a 1914 speedster that Im working on. They had run a Model A mixture rod thru it to control a Model A carb that was on the engine when I got the car. I have never seen this part before.
The little tube is 2-3/8 inches long and has a 1/4-inch hole in the tube. A 26-27 control rod fits it perfectly. I have installed a NH carb with the 26-27 style choke/adjust rod, and by moving this bracket for better alignment, it will work great. I will have to shorten the 26-27 rod since the 14 has no dash and it will mount to the firewall.

Yes it is a U and J carburetor dash mounted choke control minus the knob and shaft.

Re: U&J carburetor mystery part
Ed, Thanks for the photo and the link. The original rod Stan shows and explains in the link let's me know how it works. Now I think I will replace it with something else for the speedster. I have a good U&J it needs to be with. Thanks again
