I am installing a Fenton exhaust system on my GMC 228, and have run into the classic throttle linkage issue (going to the stock singe carb). Has anyone worked with a throttle lever as shown in the picture here? I'm assuming I'd just bend the current lever to towards the engine and make up a new connecting rod to the carburetor, but if anyone has any experience or better ideas than that, please share!
If anyone cares to know, I am switching to Fentons because my stock exhaust was basically fused together and ruined by rust and heat, etc. It would take some serious welding and fabrication to bring it back to life. The old pipes (which were literally housing plumbing) were also hung with... coat hangers? Lord only knows what they might have scrapped together on our old farm... So, hence the need for a new exhaust system.
Also, do these pipes look correct coming off the headers so far? The guys at the parts store said that's how they're supposed to go, but they just look like there are too many parts compared to others I've seen.
