Re: throttle linkage

I have yet to use this, but I'm reasonably certain it would work on our trucks.

Re: throttle linkage

This linkage rod is two pieces...one end screws into the other, thus it is adjustable for length. It's a reproduction part for a 67 Camaro with 396.

Re: throttle linkage

...very similar to the style of linkage in the previous posts, I fabricated mine from some left over ball/swivel and tubing parts. My linkage has several holes that uses a pin to secure the inner and outer shafts for larger adjustments, and the ball/swivel ends are threaded for finer adjustments.

Re: throttle linkage

I’m running a pair of the following cheapy heim joints, with a piece of ¼” all thread connecting the two. Its been working fine for close to 20 years:

I use a socket head allen bolt for the pivots with safety washers should the heim joint break, then double nut the ends to allow setting the tension for a nice tight slip fit.
