Congrats on the car!!

As far as the levers.. If they are in the stock position (just below the shifter) then you'll probably want to take a closer look at the installation.

There should be ONE choke lever that controls both carbs at the same time. Controlling each carb separately isn't necessary.

The second lever was used as a type of 'cruise' control in the '70's... it was a throttle lock.

Let's say you get up to 65mph.. If your foot was tired and you didn't want to push on the pedal anymore... you could pull that lever and it would increase the RPM's.

This wasn't the safest solution.

I came across this info when I purchased a new choke lever system for my '71. The new one came with two levers and 3 cables. Two cables were attached to a single (choke) lever and the other cable just terminated in the engine compartment.

I have no idea how to connect the throttle lock.
