throttle linkage

[wedgie]

I am swapping the slant in my '65 "A" body for a small block. Can anybody tell me what throttle linkage can be used?

You need the V8 pedal and cable from a '64 -'66.

Youv'e got only about a half hour to jump on it.

I'm also parting out a '66 Barracuda V-8 that has the pedal and linkage.

Do you want stock looking or not? That can make a difference on your options.

Stock appearance is not necessary. I am thinking cable type linkage rather than rod type.

I have just installed a 360 crate engine in my 65 Dart. I retained my original gas pedal (discarding linkage) and modified a later "floater" type pedal so I could use a stock Mopar throttle cable. The late pedal assembly is mounted to the firewall, and the cable is routed like later model cars. The late assembly's plastic pedal is removed and the remaining round metal modified as necessary. The original pedal now pushes on the later model pedal assy. Works well (so far) and looks stock. Hope this helps.

I just finished the same modification. Used a '67 A body setup with the stock '65 floor mounted pedal. Thanks.

Glad you got your throttle sorted out. Just for future reference, the early "A" V8 linkage is a cable setup not a rod setup like the /6.
