accelerator linkage to carb - too short
I pulled the motor/trans from a 67 and bolted it into the 70 project truck...
Motor is a 350 Trans is a TH400 Motor is installed on the front-most engine tower bolts (as it was in the 67) - and the trans is on the x-member and the drive shaft is also installed...I copied the bolt holes used on the 67 when I transferred it over... Now - the 67 had some janky (piece of wire) accelerator linkage from the gas pedal arm on the firewall to the carb...the stock one is still on the pedal arm on the 70 and it is too short to reach the carb...(I can get pix if that will help you understand what I am saying) What have you guys done to correct this - is there a longer linkage or do I need to fab something up? I can't move the engine back to the other tower bolt holes since everything else is already bolted down and fits like it should (well except for the linkage to the carb). Thanks in advance for your input. If you need more details - just ask. |
