throttle linkage difference from 2-jet to Q-Jet?

Copy that.
I just checked my big box of Q-jet gaskets and I have the 2 composite gaskets but no stainless plate. I do have a 1" phenolic spacer that will work, I'll check to see if the stainless plate is available too.

Thanks for the heads up!

Now about that throttle linkage...

Can anybody provide a pic of a 67-68 factory (solid rod) throttle linkage for a Quadra-Jet?
Is it the same as the 2-jet?
Is there a part number I can look for?
I'd rather not fabricobble one, I want it to look factory, if possible.

My '70 with a BB and a Q-Jet has a solid rod, too. So maybe '67 to '70 will open up your search window? I can take a pic in the AM if you think it may help.

yeah, I wasn't sure where the cutoff is.
If you have a stock setup and wouldn't mind taking a pic, that would be helpful. I just don't want to be hung up waiting on a silly throttle linkage after I swap engines.

Here you go. The rod from the bellcrank to the carb is about 15".
