I've done this swap years ago and seem to remember the truck thottle linkage is different from the car linkage. I have the truck linkage from the pedal to the bellcrank on the engine. Is the rest of the linkage (bellcrank, and linkage to carb) unique to a truck? If so, does anyone have the truck linkage they are willing to part with?
Thank, John | | |

Seems like it said that the 261's hole was a little further back on the block. If this were true then the linkage would be shorter or longer some place. | | |
