Abstract

An ajustable throttle connector for a vehicle speed control unit is disclosed. The adjustable throttle connector includes a throttle connector arm which is pivotally connected in an adjustable manner to a housing for the vehicle speed control unit. The adjustable pivotal connection is accomplished by forming a plurality of apertures in the throttle connector arm near the center thereof. A corresponding plurality of apertures are formed in the housing. A pin is inserted through a selected one of the apertures formed in the throttle connector arm and also through the corresponding one of the apertures formed in the housing to provide a fulcrum about which the throttle connector arm is free to pivot. The throttle connector arm is connected between a throttle servo diaphragm and a linkage to the vehicle throttle such that the ratio of the length of movement of the throttle servo diaphragm with respect to the corresponding length of movement of the throttle linkage can be varied by changing the placement of the pin in the apertures. The present invention also includes a motor-driven vacuum pump for actuating the throttle servo.
