throttle linkage

What is an easy method to link between the factory
pedal assembly and an Edelbrock carburetor on a small block?

If you mean throttle cable, factory part # is 6264974.
I bought a reproduction from classic industris I think.
Fit was perfect, took 5 minutes to install.

Re: throttle linkage

The '63 uses a linkage rod, not a cable. I'd prefer to keep it simple and not convert to a cable design.

Re: throttle linkage

I've used different varieties of threaded swedged throttle tubes on customer projects like these from Speedway: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Search...eaded+throttle

They come in aluminum and steel versions in a multitude of different lengths. Hardware is pretty standard for either quick release or rod end type connectors. I actually recently used an aluminum threaded throttle tube version on my 63 Tempest project since the original throttle link was damaged beyond repair.- I was able to use the original carb quick release connector and used a rod end to replace the one that was integrated with the OE rod.

Re: throttle linkage

If you have installed your small block in the original V8 location, you can also use an original V8 throttle linkage.
