'ditched the funky factory trapeze setup and cleaned it up using the rod from a Dentside.

I used a cable/pedal assembly from a 79 dent for my 70. It is a bolt in. Works good for me!

yes edelbrock carb

I grabbed a throttle rod from a 78. I liked the threaded adjustable length rod so I was thinking of maybe getting a piece of rod , threading it and bending it down like HIO silver has.

I didn't know a 79 cable was a bolt in I'll have a look at one in the yard.

I always made my own up using small rod ends and threaded rod. Much cleaner and no mickey mouse/Rube Goldberg contraption anymore.

I have the 4 bbl setup too. I'll go take a picture of it at lunch and show ya what I've got, I just took two pieces of linkage and cut and welded to fit.
