Gents,

I just fabricated new vertices throttle linkage for my 261. It goes from the pivot point up to the carb. I used 1/4” x 28 rod with 2 heim joints on the ends. Now I have an adjustable rod!

Thanks for the tip Cosmo!

Chris

I like that a lot.

What size is the bolt on the Heim joint? Is it 1/4 as well?

Nice!
When I did my 261 with a Rochester Monojet I bent a rod. I think there were 5 bends in it. I like yours better.

Wally

Mine sits 1/2 off the manifold straight and I can lengthen or shorten it to get the full range of throttle and adjust my peddle slightly. I thought that this was easier than attempting to bend rods.
