is there a difference between the 350hp and 300hp accelerator lever? the one i have has no number and does not match any of the pictures in the catalogs. thanks

Yes, there is. The difference is in the bend out where the throttle rod connects. No scanner, so this computer illiterate cannot give a picture. Someone else will be along shortly.

Tim -- yes, as Loren says, there is a difference between the L75 (unique); and the base engine, the Hi /Perf small block engines L79, L76 and L84. In fact, there were three different firewall accelerator levers in 1965, counting the one for the L78 (396) which was carried over to the '66 BB's.

If you have Noland's Vol 2, you can find GM blueprint reproductions on pages 226.
