Anyone out there, who has installed Fenton Headers on a 235 and had to re-manufacture the linkage to the carb? I have tried a few different configurations and am still not satified? Cant' use the old linkage as the rear header is in the way? Anyone got pics of what they've done? Or is a linkage available somewhere?

I ran into the same problem and I did end up making my own linkage. I also have an Edelbrock 2x1 intake which is a factor. I went to Lowe's and bought some round-stock. I bent it with a pipe torch, pliers, and a vice. It took some playing with to get it right. I don't have pictures right off, but I can post some. You can look at the link below and you might see something helpful. I'll get back to ya though.

Same here. Only I used 1/4" stainless rod and I have an Offy intake. On top of that, I'm using IH spec Holley 1904s, with the throttle arm on the wrong side, so that had to be adapted, too. I don't have nay good pix, I'll see if I can get in there and take some.

Sorry about the subject line, not paying attention I guess. Thanks for the feedback, I am running a 235 from 56 Chevy with original intake, I guess I'll keep at it until I get something that works and looks good. Any other help is appreciated.

Using my Picturetrail site, go to the 53' Chev page. Check out the Carb Linakage and Strretside photos for the detail. I think there is enough shown to be of some help to you.

Dave, I accidentally clicked on the picture of your shop. I am now in a coma of lust. I can't go on.
