A quick check on my 64B indicates my knob comes out just slightly over
1" so that might be one thing. Also, when the knob is pushed in, the
cable above the brass lever should not have any freeplay so you get full
travel when you do pull out the cable. The pictures indicate correct
cabling but also verify the cable end is not slipping on that carb choke
bracket connection when you pull the knob out.
Now off to test the thermostat replacement on my 67BGT...

The brass part does not move via the cable. That is my problem.Â
 I can manually move the brass part no problem.  But the cable
does nothing when the knob is pulled out although the knob comes
out 3/4"

<p>The important part to look at is the motion of the jets. When
you pull out the choke, that brass lever will move up and the
jets will lower. You may need to adjust the brass lever
downwards to have a longer travel for the jets to go lower.
Also, both jets should move downwards identically - if not,
you may have to adjust the brackets that connect to the carb
cam fast idle pieces.
