Throttle linkage
 

I need the linkage and return spring that connects the floor peddle to the carburetor. I looked at Summit and, there are so many different ones I have no idea which one I need. Could someone please head me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have used threaded rod with two heim joints. That worked pretty well.

The swedged aluminum throttle linkage rod from Speedway (in black or Aluminum color) makes for a very tidy and sturdy linkage setup, don't forget the right hand and left hand heim joints for each end.

This swedged throttle linkage tubing is tapped 3/16" (10-32) LH and RH thread. One end of the throttle rod will have left hand threads, and the other end will have right hand threads. Made of 5/16" x 0.049 round aluminum tubing.

Note: When measuring for your tube length, you will want to allow 1.5" in length for the rod ends (3/4" of length for each end when calculating your eye-to-eye measurement. For instance, an eye-to-eye length of 11.5" would require a 10" swedged tube.

This is how I did mine. I used the original rod.

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I don't have the original:( I'd really like to use the same piece as original...

Let me look. If I have one- you are welcome to it.

That would be great!

That's how I did mine on my 66.
My 65 has the original linkage.

You are also going to need the bushing and sleeve that goes in the large hole in the throttle arm on the carb.

Ok, thanks, Captain!

I just did mine and used a 12 inch 3/16 throttle rod form e-bay that had the ends and bolted one to the carb and the other to the accelerator bracket and adjusted. It seem to work great.
