keithmalibu Dec 7th, 02, 10:30 AM i`m installing a new carb. edelbrock 600on a 67 chevelle small block , on the right side linkage theres three holes on the bottom i put the kickdown cable next one up,the throttle rod lines up with it but the hole is to small for the rod next hole up is big to big for the rod , and have to hook up the return spring ,don`t want to start drilling or bending yet any idea`s i`m stumped on this one Jim Elliott Dec 7th, 02, 9:27 PM Huh ? Your statement is confusing me, The bottom of the linkage (passenger side) is for the trannie hookup "1 3/16 inch" from center shaft. Next hole up is useless for a spring return "7/8 inch" from center of shaft, not e'nuf leverage for return spring. Next small hole up above the center shaft is for return spring. Now for the biggie, you are going to hafta get creative to get your throttle cable to fit without slop, I personally machine down a small piece of whatever and hook it up with a 1/4 bolt. Hope this is what your looking for and good luck.

May I suggest that you acquire some composition and punctuation skills rather than fooling around with cars? 65elcamino Dec 9th, 02, 3:42 PM Keith, Very confusing post with the run on sentence. However, here is my input on the correct positions for the linkages. The top large hole is for the throttle rod. Your rod should be inserted into a rubber grommet that fits into this large hole. You should also have the same type of rubber grommet at the back of the rod where it connects to the accellerator arm on the firewall. The transmission kickdown linkage is connected to the bottom hole. The return spring is hooked into the tiny hole at the front which was connected to a flat piece of metal that is on the oil filler neck on the original type of intake manifold. If you don't have a stock manifold with the oil filler neck on it, you can buy a Mr. Gasket or other accelerator return spring bracket and bolt it to your manifold. ------------------ Brian TC#1092, ACES#4374 --------------------------------------------------------- 1965 El Camino (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/65elcamino1b.jpg) Before Restoration (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/65elcamino1a.jpg) 1981 Corvette (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/65elcamino81.jpg) | ||
