Pontiac Tempest Accelerator Linkage Diagram - Fig. 6B-5, 6 & 8 Cylinder Engines
Service-manual accelerator linkage diagram (Tempest) showing control levers, cable, brackets and a sectional cable install view.
This document is a factory service manual illustration (Fig. 6B-5) showing the accelerator linkage for the Pontiac Tempest. The main exploded view depicts the accelerator pedal assembly, dash panel pass-through, control levers, brackets, hardware (screws, grommets, clips), and the accelerator switch assembly. A callout instructs that after installing the switch assembly, the plunger must be fully depressed in the direction of arrow "A" to insure proper setting, followed by fully depressing the accelerator pedal. Two inset views show engine-side cable attachments: one labeled "8 CYLINDER ENGINES" showing the carburetor extension, cable assembly, and bracket; another labeled "4 BBL. CARB. 6 CYLINDER ENGINE" showing the throttle control lever, cable assembly, and bracket. A sectional view (applicable to all engines) shows how the cable installs into the engine bracket, indicating the slot, clamp, cable, and front orientation. A speedometer cable clip is also identified near the pedal assembly. The diagram helps a reader identify component names, their relative locations, and the correct installation procedure for the throttle cable and accelerator switch. No part numbers, torque values, or model years are printed on the page.
