Default 69 Camaro cowl induction switch and throttle arm

Guys,

From a visual standpoint, how close is the reproduction throttle arm and cowl induction switch compared to the GM parts for a 69 BB Camaro. Is it close, way off, or something totally different?

And has anyone had first hand experience with using the reproduction switch and throttle arm?

All comments welcome.

Thanks,javascript:void(0)


Elon

Not sure about all the differences, but the biggest difference I saw (I have one of each) is that the bolt in the bottom is welded in place on the repop, but not on the original.
Hope this helps.

I used a repop throttle arm, switch and spring clip. It was a tight fit, and when I tried to force it the switch exploded. I filed the hole a little bigger, and everything went together fine. (D&R replaced the switch for me) I don't know which of the pieces was the culprit.
