do i need some sort of adapter or do i need to remove the metal rod linkage and replace with a cable actuated setup?

thanks again!

Not sure if this helps but when I changed out my intake I upgraded my throttle linkage. I used to heim joints and a pieve of 5/16 fine threaded rod (I think). I used shoulder bolts to fasten heim joints to the carb, and throttle linkage. If this helps, I could take it apart and take more detailed pics.

Let me know!

I should note that my carb is a holley, and my truck is a 66, but the engine is a 283

did you have any issues with the venting thing on the back of the motor. thought I read a post 283s had an issue with that.it fits under the intake manifold

thats awesome - thanks for the ideas!

as for the vent thing i simply pulled igt and installed a freeze plug and used valve covers with an oil filler, a breather and a pcv valve to the carb. hope that helps!

I have a 66 that had a 2bbl/283. Dropped in a 350 with a AFB 4bbl. old style manual 4sp tranny. Used original rod and ends for the throttle linkage... Just beefed up the return spring. Works great.... so far.

mr gasket makes a aluminum bushing that fits the opening on the edelbrock throttle linkage
to correct the factory rod

No issue, it is currently serving as the PCV valve port. It is actually on the deck of the block between the distributor and the firewall. It's days are numbered though as I am about to order a 350 crate engine, just way too expensive to even think about rebuilding the 283.
