I've recently replaced the Holley with an Edelbrock 1411 on my 77 F350 with 460 and C6.
The throttle rod connects to the carb linkage at a pretty severe angle. It works, but is definitely "ugly".
I've seen some pictures of throttle rods built/constructed with an "offset" to pull straight. Looking for some advice/suggestions for accomplishing this.
Is the stock rod long enough that I can heat it with a torch to add two 90* bends or would that leave it too short and/or brittle?
Thanks in advance for your pictures / suggestions / great ideas...

Reason: typo
Buy a couple of 1/4" rod ends and some 1/4" cold rolled and a good 1/4" threading die........build your own.....that's what I did on my 4BT Cummins swap........I had to re drill the hole on the throttle pedal arm to 1/4" but it only was one drill bit size larger than the original hole.....not sure what you would have to do on your carb linkage but should be easy.......could get you a pic if you need it......
This is what I did on my 390. I cut my gas pedal rod and lengthened it a 1 1/2 . Bent it a little too get a better and and bought a universal throttle linkage from jeggs. Please ignore the plug wires I'm not done putting it back together
Its a bad pic. But shows a little. If you want i can post a better pic tonight after work
