I believe there are rubber grommets behind the dash that put some resistance on the pull rod. The rubber hardens over time, shrinks, no resistance. Joe's Antique Auto has available for $25 per pair. Should be easy to install.

I have made several small bent clips of varying widths that when not in use, hang from the window air vent below the window. I use whichever one (between the knob and dash) which makes the engine run at the speed I want until it warms up. I use them as I get out and inspect under the hood for any problems (leaks, etc.) as the engine runs for a few minutes to warm up.

The throttle and choke pulls on my '46 won't stay in position when I pull them out. The throttle more so that the choke. If I pull the throttle out to keep a fast idle when the engine is cold, the dad burned thing slides right back in! Any ideas/suggestions?
