carb linkage

ok.
got the 500cfm Holley 2bbl installed.
I can either have the throttle on the floor and use 1/2 the thro of the blades... or, I can have the throttle pedal above the brake(very, very, very uncomfortable) and use all the thro, but have about 8" of travel to the pedal.

Is there some linkage kit I should have bought? 'Cause this is ridiculas.

Im guessing that you have a V-8 with the threaded rod linkage can
you adjust it and find a happy medium . Just screw the end in some , sounds
like your runing a plate under the carb.

It's either Holley, or Edelbrock, offer linkage and throttle cable kits. Find a local parts house with a catalog or look them up on internet to be sure.

I have a 1" plate under the carb, but, removed the steel coolant circulation plate, so, not sure the height has been alter'd significantly.

Linkage kit eh?
I'll see what I can find out.
