John - Great idea on swapping to the 216 bell crank. Just looking at it, I feel pretty confident you will have both full pedal travel and full throttle plate range of motion and I think your "Short" proves that point. Good to hear no rubbing interference on the accelerator linkage and your test drive went well!
