Joe,

I appreciate the assistance. Since the 1940 accelerator rod connects directly to the back of the gas pedal and runs up to the bell crank on the side of the engine and then up to the carbs, I will end up with something similar. I have the luxary of moving the throttle arm on my linkage to where ever I can get the rod to come up, except wher the carbs are. smile So I will probably try to use the existing pedal to bell crank rod. I will have to shorten it I believe and then make a new rod that comes up like all of you have had to do. I will use the same method I used to make my brake lines. Bend an old coat hanger or 1/8 inch copper tubing into the shape that works and then make the real rod up later.

Barry Weeks said that is what he did as well.

I'll post pictures when I am done.

Thanks,

Bill
