Re: 6 cyl throttle linkage help.

I used a Lokar cable and have fabbed a bracket for the stock pedal, used a Lokar pedal and also used a 67 up pedal and l bracket through the fire wall. It's easiest to order a carb bracket, cable and pedal. On a budget, it takes a few trips to the wrecking yard. You might also look at the 80s throttle cables with the square firewall clip on the sheath. We just used one on a buddy's rat rod and it worked too.

I've got a holley 390 on my truck so I guess if you have your 2 barrel turned with the throttle towards the front it would be the same. Mines not pretty or elegant but it works.
