Re: WTB throttle rod

You may try classic parts, they might have one, or hit up a good hardware store for some rod stock and you could make your own. I just purchased a new one from a guy that sells them on ebay. I just gave him the measurements I needed and he made me one with heim joints and all. Not a bad deal for a little over 30 bux. You can have the one I'm removing from my 66 with a 283/Holley 600 if you want to pay for the shipping. It's butt-ass ugly though so it all depends on what you want/need. I'll post up a picture of what I'm replacing this weekend.

Good luck.
