Yes, he has some 1970s vintage items, too.
I’ve got to ask, how bad does that hang up when your driving it, anyway? Any panic moments with a stuck throttle yet? A complete factory linkage is your best bet, by far. It uses a longer rod from the throttle pressure valve on the transmission, a taller bell crank and throttle cable bracket, and a longer carburetor link assembly. You’ll be able to unbolt that mess of an extension bracket and mount the linkage stud off of it with the aforementioned Edelbrock 1481 (thanks 4spdragtop!) extension lever. It would make this whole deal an easy bolt on fix. This is really a good place for a factory service manual so you can properly set up and adjust your linkage, too. Because of the bad geometry, none of these homemade linkage setups like this properly operate the throttle pressure valve on the transmission in the designed linear motion even if they by some miracle manage to get it operate fully across its range of motion. And yes, it’s pretty important for the life of the transmission to make that happen.
The car is in the process of being built so it’s hasn’t been driven with that mess so far and won’t be. I personally don’t have access to the parts I need as far as a factory set up.
I knew a girl like that once. [/QUOTE][QUOTE And when it begins to moan, you know something big is about to happen
Pull the cotter pin on the pivot end and install it through the other side of that “bell crank” bend the flat portion that connects to the carb stud into an offset to help get the rod operating at least close to parallel with everything. Bend it as needed for clearance, adjust the length for kick down function etc. Costs nothing.Got photo today of this and I thought WTF......bad linkage, wrong linkage.......very disappointed.

Did you notice the angle iron and goobers on the linkage?View attachment 1715448093

Yes. I could see the welds giving out. Pretty crappy looking. Is someone doing things up for you on this setup? Just offering a cheap fix on boogered up parts to at least get it working possibly much better than it likely is now. Have you priced reproduction linkage lately? I have, yikes. My sons Magnum needs everything but he can’t swing it just yet so it’s improvise for now while looking for used.Did you notice the angle iron and goobers on the linkage?
