Anyone have any pics of the rod from carburetor to the bell crank swivel? I have a 235 with Fenton headers and the rod that’s on now gets stuck
Thanks

Sorry I couldn't get a better picture. The rod from the carb. passes down between the intake/exhaust (Fenton) manifolds and the engine block and then connects to a swivel mounted on the side of the block. From there it connects to the linkage of accelerator pedal.

Looks good did you make the rod or buy the rod I like the clips that hold it on

That style clip should be available at your local parts store.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

The Fentons are the problem, not the linkage. You'll probably have to do a little custom bending with a torch and a pry bar.
