I have a Holley 390CFM to run on it. The problem is I added a vacuum booster to the manual brakes to run the newer disk brake front end. The Holley will fit if the shafts are at right angles to the engine and the carb's levers are by the vacuum booster. The carb's linkage now have to be pulled toward the rear of the truck to open, the same direction as the throttle pedal arm.
I need suggestions. Snake a LONG cable under the manifold and headers and back up to the carb linkage? Fabricate a shaft mounted above the manifold and use short linkage? Where can I get parts to make this?
Should have just put the 250 back in it. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 | oh come on, don't give up now. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 60 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 60 | let us now what you end up doing thats the set up i want to put on mine | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 | for the linkages try McMaster carr, or grainger. You may have to do it a couple of times before you get every thing to fit, but it would sure be cool. Just make sure everything is free, so you don't get your throttle stuck wide open. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 | No problem a bellcrank won't fix. They can change speed, length of stroke, direction, or convert a back and forth motion to a side to side one.

Getting the throttle linkage to work in my car was a pain. It previous had a 194 and I installed a 292. I'm currently working on a writeup to show what I had to do to get it to work. I'll post it when I finish it. In the meantime here are a couple of pics of the setup: throttle modsand what I ended up with overall: 292 in a '63 Chevy II
