[Roadsters] Hand Throttle Cable Connection

[Mike Harper]

Dan, 67.5 and later models have a hand throttle.  Your '66 does not.  You are not missing much, nice for tuning up etc when you want to raise the rpm remotely, but useless as a "cruise control" because it is static and does not compensate for hills, etc....not to mention disengage when you brake....not recommended for "on the road" unless you are in the middle of the desert with nothing else in sight and on very level ground.

Just one more Datsun anomaly.
