Hey Guys thanks for the response. Looking on my linkage the shaft where the lever slides through is not round, that's why the lever faces down. I will need to drill out the lever and position it upward (tack weld in place) I probably will flatten the lever to get an inch longer but my measurements are still short. I need at least 1 1/2 to 2 inches longer to be good (total length on lever 5-6 inches) Heres sum pics of the lever and engine. 72bigred i'll shoot you a pm...thanks guys
