Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 72 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 72 | So after finally sorting out most of the problems in my 235 Chevrolet engine. I have discovered that the three on the tree linkage hits the manifold, is there any fix to this? by the way the truck is a 1951 3100 with a 235 engine | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 | Stock manifold or dual? If dual you will have to creatively go around the second carb as you need that rod to adjust the fender to hood. If stock, gear in neutral, refer to owners manual. If you don't have one now is the perfect time to buy.

I've already addressed the fender support rod. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 | I actually went back to three on the tree about 7 months ago. I cut down one of the shift arms and added a new hole. That said, my Edelbrock is more curvilinear than your Offy.

Do I have to remove the steering column to pull those shift arms? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 | NO, two small nuts on the underside, don't lose them. Measure, measure, measure, dry fit. Consult your owners manual for adjustment. One set that I did that worked well was to make up my own rods to the trans shifter arms using heim joints. Expect to spend a couple 8 hour days to get it right. PM me over the weekend if you get in a jam, or need a sanity check.

Also I feel like if I make one shorter I should do the same to both ? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 | When you change the length, won't that change the throw? Also I feel like if I make one shorter I should do the same to both ? Alterations will definetly affect throw. I resolved this by making "dogleg" extensions to reach under the intake. It took several attempts to get the the throw where I wanted it but has worked perfectly. See here.

Both throws are really short, actually it was what I was aiming for. I'll measure the total throw and take pics tomorrow. regards, Cosmo
