Available for sale is a genuine General Motors New Old Stock (NOS) Gas Accelerator Bell Crank, GM part number 3709358, designed for 1953–1954 Chevrolet 150, 210, and Bel Air passenger car applications. This original GM service replacement component is a rare and valuable find for restorers seeking factory-correct throttle linkage hardware for early 1950s Chevrolet models.

The 1953–1954 Chevrolet lineup represents the final evolution of Chevrolet’s early postwar design before the introduction of the legendary Tri-Five models. These vehicles featured improved styling, refined drivetrains, and dependable mechanical systems that made them popular family cars of the era. Today, they remain highly collectible and are widely restored by enthusiasts who value originality and period-correct components.

The accelerator bell crank is a critical part of the throttle linkage system. It transfers motion from the accelerator pedal through the linkage rods to the carburetor, controlling engine speed and throttle response. Proper function of this component is essential for smooth acceleration, correct throttle return, and overall drivability.

Over time, original bell crank assemblies can become worn due to constant movement, corrosion, lack of lubrication, or physical damage. Worn components may cause sticking throttle linkage, poor acceleration response, or unsafe throttle return issues. Replacing worn hardware is an important step in restoring proper engine performance and safe operation.

This component is a true New Old Stock (NOS) GM service replacement part, meaning it was manufactured during the original production era and has never been installed on a vehicle. It retains factory specifications, original materials, and GM engineering standards designed for proper fit and reliable operation.

Unlike modern reproduction parts, NOS GM linkage components provide authentic geometry and correct manufacturing quality, ensuring smooth operation and proper alignment within the factory throttle system. This is especially important in early Chevrolet vehicles where precise mechanical linkage is essential for correct engine response.

For restoration enthusiasts, maintaining originality in the throttle system helps preserve both authenticity and driving feel. Whether restoring a Bel Air show car, a 210 sedan, or a 150 utility model, using correct GM components ensures accurate and dependable operation.

As original GM linkage components become increasingly difficult to locate, NOS throttle hardware such as bell cranks has become highly sought after among collectors and professional restorers.
