I put an Edlebrock 600 on mine. Having the same problem. Another user directed me to the www.lokar.com site. Looks like its worth the $$$ to me. Just my opinion though!

I've got some good pics of the original 360/ 2bl linkage if that's what your after? I put a76 engine in my 72 and had to mod the carb linkage to fit.

Take all the garbage linkage off that the original carb had.

Either buy some nice heim ends and threaded rod to make a straight linkage, or bend yourself a nice rod from a coathanger or welding rod. Been there, done that.

I'm there with you guys. I solved this by using the single rod off of a '77. It worked great. It's adjustable and fits perfectly. Only cost me $2 at the local junk yard. I also was able to eliminate the "squirel cage" setup that was the original and worn out on mine.

Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like I need to quit scratching my head and redesign it. Since its a standard I don't have to be concerned with the kickdown part of it. Appreciate the replys. I posted pictures of the engine installed and running in my forum.
