| | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 6 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 6 | I have pulled the straight 6 and have put a 327 in my 1955 second series truck. Where the old throttle linkage came thru the firewall it now comes out into the valve cover. Is there a linkage kit that can be purchased to solve this issue? Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Lots of latitude on location and uses a simple bell crank at the firewall side
of the gas pedal.
Never an issue with it.

I looked at the Jim Carter website and it looks like the linkage is on back order. I will still order one and hopefully I will get it before to long.
