What is this? 200 1983

Hi all!

Can anyone tell me what this pulley thing located under the hood on the driver side is? It's about 3 1/2 in. in diameter, thin, and upright. It has a thin cable-like wire going under it and then over it. The wire is covered by a blue sheath. The top part of the cable seems to be stuck and a little loose.

Also, regarding the driver seat, how do you raise the rear part of it? I know there is that lever where you can adjust the height of the front, but how do you adjust the rear? Thanks.

There is a similar lever for the rear of the seat.

Start the car and open the hood. While standing over the drivers side front fender, turn that pulley you described clockwise towards the firewall just a little bit and the engine should respond. I believe you're describing the accelerator cable and the throttle pulley.

Not sure about the seat. I still have to investigate that for myself.

Duck:

The 240 seat's position on the rear is adjusted by taking it out completely (4 bolts) and removing the bolts under the rail carraige and placing them in one of the 3 sets of holes (low,med,high). It's a snap for the driver's side (reach in from the rear while the seat is in the car),for the passenger's side,you need to completely take out the seat. Good luck, Genaro.
