Linkage Help
Hello Everyone, my name is Frank, and I am new to this forum, and to Chevy Truck restoring. I have a 1950 Chevy Truck, came with no engine and I was able to find a good running 216 to put in it. The linkage rod from the gas pedal lines up with the throttle linkage on the Rochester 1bbl carb. The problem is when you push the gas pedal, the rod goes forward towards the radiator, but the carb linkage accelerates towards the firewall. So they are opposite. What Am I missing?? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Linkage Help
I think there is a bell crank that bolts to the block that changes the front to back from the firewall linkage to a vertical for the carb. Someone with a AD factory manual can probably provide a drawing.

Re: Linkage Help
Thanks everyone,
It looks just like the picture Newfisher posted, yet the top of the assy accelerates towards the firewall, which doesn't make sense. |
