throttle linkage difference from 2-jet to Q-Jet?
So, I burned up the ol 327 in my '68 about 3 years ago:
https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=824795 ...it must not have been too bad 'cuz I'm still driving it. However, I have been building a 350 and am very close to swapping it in. about the only thing left to do is find a 4bbl manifold with the oil filler neck and build a Quadra-jet My question is about the throttle linkage: is there a different rod that runs from the pedal to the carb for a Quadra-Jet? is it the same rod? if it's different, where can I find one? anybody have a part number? can I just bend one up? would I be better off switching to a cable? is there a kit to do that? I don't want to get that close and wind up waiting for something to be delivered. what are my options?

Re: throttle linkage difference from 2-jet to Q-Jet?
You can convert to cable. There may be an aftermarket kit available, but it's easy to do the conversion with factory parts. You will need the pedal assy from a 71 or 72, the cable, and the cable bracket that fits on the left rear carb stud/bolt. You will also need an adapter plate for the firewall. I made my own plate. Here is a thread on doing the conversion:
