I don't know if it will help because its not a Fenton set up.



Can you post a pic of that side of your engine?

The linkage connector is called the "Keeper"?

Does anyone have a good picture of what the clip looks like?

Try switching them

Good luck

I got the swivel on, but now I am having trouble connecting the linkage rod from the carb to the swivel. Has anyone installed the carb and gas pedal linkage on a 58 235 motor with Fenton headers?

Does anyone have a picture of how the linkage rod should be bent to work with the headers?

Has anyone ever used the install kit for fenton intake from chevsofthe40s? Can I use this instead of trying to modify the stock linkage rod?

What is your problem with the linkage?

It doesnt fit with the Fentons installed

Sometimes you just have to bend the rods and bend again to get it right. Might even have to make a new rod. Trial and error.
