Jim Shepard Posted February 2 Author Report Posted February 2 I had to cut and extend the gas pedal rod in order to line up with the new manifold. The push rod (?) that is between the pedal rod and the swivel on the manifold wouldn’t clear the back of the manifold, which is about 3.5” further away from the block than the factory manifold. I’m not sure of the terminology I’m using so I hope you guys can follow. Anyway, maybe a photo will clarify it. 1 Quote
Jim Shepard Posted February 2 Author Report Posted February 2 (edited) I extended the rod by cutting it and slipping a tube over the ends and welding it. Edited February 3 by Jim Shepard Quote
Jim Shepard Posted 18 hours ago Author Report Posted 18 hours ago Ok, I think I’ve got the linkage dialed in. Just had the drill one additional hole in the middle arm. Otherwise, the George Asch linkage kit works great. With the cold, wet weather I decided to powder coat the manifold. That ended up delaying me an additional week or so. 2 Quote
Jim Shepard Posted 18 hours ago Author Report Posted 18 hours ago (edited) I welded a bracket on the log to imitate the boss on the factory manifold. It seems to line up correctly but I’ll know for sure when I get it back on the motor. Edited 12 hours ago by Jim Shepard 3 Quote
