Carb Linkage
I have a 72 F100/390/c6 and the old Autolite 2 bbl. has developed a leak from the accelerator pump. Turns out the housing is cracked. So...I stumbled across a Holley 2 bbl. The Holley is a list 8226 (Ford OEM from a 75 302 cu in. ) The guy I got it from rejetted the carb and had it on a 390. This weekend I pulled the Autolite 2100 off and went to install the Holley. Problem is there is a big difference in the geometry for the linkage. The linkage setup on the 72 just will not work. Any suggestions?

Thanx Bob...the carb has a Ford kickdown connection and that works OK. The issue is that the pedal rod is too short (relative to the carb actuator arm). I think that if I lengthen the pedal rod a bit it will reduce the severity of the "uphill" angle for the linkage rod and might work out. I have already paid for the card (Ebay) so I have no access to the old 302 doner truck. The guy I got the carb from was running it on a 390.
