Re: need a measurement on the throttle rod
as long as when your not pressing the peddle your at zero throttle and when you floor it your at full throttle it doesn't matter how far or lose it is to the fire wall. just put it at the height you want and hen make sure you still can get full throttle.

Re: need a measurement on the throttle rod
Too many variables... is this a stock engine or does it have an aftermarket manifold and carb? Also like Justin said... As long as there is no slop and it closes all the way when you let off the pedal... and you have WOT when you hammer it to he floor, you're good.
Check your service manual for the stock procedure, and then you can make it work for pretty much anything aftermarket too. Gary

Re: need a measurement on the throttle rod
I built one out of aluminum rod and Heim Joints. I bought the joints off of eBay and threaded the rod. This way if the carb changes or engine gets replace or blahbittyblahblah I should be good.
