    in my '53 sedan i've got a 292 inline with an offy 4bbl intake and a carter fb 500 cfm full mechanical carb.
    i've got the linkage (cable) kind of set up,....for now at least. i'm not total happy with it. it sticks here and there. the car is not road worthy yet so the linkage is ok for now.

    but i'd like to see some pics of some throttle linkage (solid or cable) set ups with 4 bbls and chevy inlines. i'd post a pic of mine, but my camera took a dump on me.

    my biggest problem is that tha carb is mounted "sideways" so the throttle movement is sideways, not front to back.

    let see what you've done...
    thanks

    Chris

    They are made from 6061 Billet if you would have come across my web site you would have found they sometime ago. I just like you and many others needed away to hook-up the linkage to our L6s. And my 3x4 tunnel Ram intake is how this all came about.

    Thanks cwatson1953

    And your welcome (sick!) i hope thats a good thing. I sometimes do a lot of one offs ,If not for just myself for others as well. That is how
    I end up making more then one Because someone else hears about it
    Or see's it. So i do sometimes make a few of the One offs. Just because one never knows who may want what. Right?? And Other stuff is just to hard to keep in stock. Like the Engine company intakes, valve covers,side covers and so on. But They are the best in quality then most of our US. stuff which is pretty sad to say.
    But if i can be of any other help just fire away any time.
