throttle linkage hit exhaust bolts
59 chevy 235 stock BC carb. Hooking up my gas pedal and I only have an inch or so of travel Probably stops 6 inches from the floor . It looks like my linkage is hitting my exhaust manifold stud. Its hitting the brass nut. Does it look like anything is wrong in this picture? I know the spring needs to be attached to the pan but this is temporary

Re: throttle linkage hit exhaust bolts
Here's what the assembly manual shows. Looks like your bracket that swivels is going clockwise rather than counterclockwise? Almost looks like your rod to the carb has an extra bend in it too. Hopefully someone who has this set up can chime in.

I think youre right I have it in upside down maybe. I'll try it and see. Been 2 years since I took it all apart. Thanks

I tried rotating it and no luck. The rod going to the carb needs to be longer but this is what came off it .

Re: throttle linkage hit exhaust bolts
Been there did the same exact thing. You have the bellcrank positioned wrong. The guy who got that all together right the first time without having to step back and figure it out leads a charmed life.
The rod is on right it is the Bellcrank that is in the wrong position. I think it was on the 56 235 that I put in my friend's 53 that I beat my head against the wall on on that. You have to take the bell crank off and turn it around so that the straight arm is up and the bent arm is facing down as the diagram that 57 tailgater posted shows.
