It appears long but I just located this original equipment one today and would like some guidence before modifing? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 81 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 81 | I was able to buy hookup components such as threaded rods and threaded swivels at NAPA. These components were apparently devoloped for "hot rodders" for use in custom installations You will need to envision what you need.

As the engine is in the rig,NAPA is looking better all the time.
Thanks for the help. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | There are two spots on a 56 235 for the throttle pivot. The front spot is in the same spot as the 216.

Note that the rod from thew accelerator pedal pushes from the top, rotating the bellcrank ccw. Here's a better view of the 55.1 linkage from the assembly manual. Here's a pic showing a 62 235 with the bellcrank pivot in the aft hole. Note that it pushes from the bottom. I have no idea if this is stock for the late 235. regards, Leon | | |
