Re: throttle linkage
I did this to my truck, I will go take a picture and post it for you. I just sanded down the end of the rod a tiny bit & it worked perfectly. really was a a 10min simple job.

Re: throttle linkage
ok. thanks. ive seen where a lot of people are using heim joints but i dont like the way they look because they stick out so far from the carb. but if i cant figure something out i may have to join the crowd.

Re: throttle linkage
You can also enlarge the hole in the throttle arm to 1/4" and attach it like below:

Re: throttle linkage
This comes up often. You can hack it or purchase the correct piece from Edelbrock. Click on the link below, scroll down to my post, and click on that link.
