I6 & V8 throttle the same?

[61K10]

as the title say's, are the 6 and v8 throttle (the arm the rod from carb) hooks up to the same length? mine seems a little short and my tk was org a 235. here is a pic of mine in the middle.

The I6 and V8 linkages are different under the hood.
The V8 arm is taller than the I6 arm.

the arm on the engine side of the bellcrank is of a different length. just get a v8 one

I bought one for a tri-5 chevy v8 about 1 1/2" longer by looks. mine works but is a little touch-e (quick) thanks for the reply's.

Mine was originally an I6 and the PO put in a sbc. I believe he used the original arm as my pedal is really touchy. Would getting a longer arm make it less touchy?

[padresag]

the longer that arm the quicker the response. that means the shorter distance that the pedal travels

I got another arm and cut it drilled two holes and bolted it to six cylinder arm using linkage hole and drilled extra hole also have done same thing using small piece of aluminum has worked great

I just recently made a new linkage rod for my SBC swap and it too seems very touchy with the short l6 style arm. I might try to lengthen the arm as well to see if that makes the throttle action manageable. The geometry of the lever certainly impacts the amount of travel.

If that doesn't work I may need to search for a mid-70s pedal assembly that I saw on someone's 64-66 that worked much better.

I did te mid 70's throttle cable mod, and love it.

Now if I could just eliminate my sticky accel pump, my throttle action would be perfect
