swallowed a washer?
Yesterday I was cleaning the filth out of the engine bay on my 'new' GT.
I removed the air filter cover located on top of the Weber carb and found 3 of the 4 bolts were resting on the throttle plate! yikes! The worse part is I couldn't find 1 of the mounting washers. I'm hoping that maybe the previous owner had lost it, and it wasn't eaten by the engine. What sort of damage would this cause and were could it be now if it was eaten?
Before I had found this problem I drove the car about a mile to get the car to my house.
Thanks,
Bob
