Looking for a stock style throttle rod for a 69 chevy 4x4, V-8, Qjet.
Needs to be about 10 1/2" with adjustment on the one end. Shipping to MN.
Thanks.

You can measure yours and see, but a 2wd is different. I need one about 10-10.5"

**michael bustamante** · 01-27-2025, 07:19 PM

Ok lemme check

**michael bustamante** · 01-28-2025, 04:57 PM

Sending you a pic of a 10" one and a 13.5" ok ne for comparison. There is a lot of thread for adjustment on the shorter rod for you

That short rod is throwing me off. I need one that looks like the long one but shorter. Not sure if i can add a ball stud and make that one work or not. I will look tomorrow.
Does the other end of the short one look like the long one?

**michael bustamante** · 01-28-2025, 09:40 PM

Yes it has a hook on the other end. Tbh I know the shorter came off a Chevy block but I'm pretty sure it was a Rochester carb with that bolt on ball stud on the linkage. I know a lot of gm carbs have that ball. Wasn't sure what your application was.

Probably a 2wd. I need approx 10"

I make my own using round stock and threading them. I use the ball sockets on the ends. Might be a solution if you can’t find one
