Throttle linkage
Have a 64 chev that has what i believe is the original rod linkage .We have just changed the 350 engine and has a 700R4 trans .we changed it to a newer Elderbrook carb. Need to get the cable hooked up for the 700 and was wondering if anyone has changed to a trottle cable instead of the rod set up. Just think is may be easier without so many moving parts.

Re: Throttle linkage
Make sure that your carb has the correct linkage for the 700r4.

Re: Throttle linkage
I think the throttle pedal and bracket from a 71 or 72 Chevy truck is a common swap. Do a search on this forum and you will find a few “how to” write-ups. I had to do a little searching for a cable that was the right length for my setup.

Re: Throttle linkage
carb has the right spot for it, mounting the bracket to hold the cable with the throttle rod and HEI distributor is the problem.

There was a little “fabrication” - mostly trimming the bracket, but otherwise pretty straight forward. |
