In the process of installing a 4 barrel carb. I found a bell crank out of an old 6 cyl. to line ilinkage up on drivers side. Problem is I don't have enough pedal travel to work the carb fully. It's a manual/overdrive so there is the solenoid under the pedal (if that matters) I'm in a bit over my head, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Jason

 

You'll get more movement at the carb if you just extend the arm on the 6-cyl linkage

 

Thank you
Yes, I mocked up an extension and did create more travel but not enough.

 

What are you using to connect the bell crank arm to the carb? A shortened piece of all-thread with rod-joints on each end?

 

Also on the carbs throttle control arm are you using the big hole with an adapter bearing?

 

Yes exactly. Pedal bottoms out before full throttle.

 

I also used the smaller hole under the larger one

 

You're Probably going to have to adapt to a progressive linkage such as what's in this picture-

 

Thank you Smitty
That looks interesting. Don't have any experience with that. I will have to take a closer look when I get home tonight.
If any one has any tips installing this kind of set up I would appreciate it.
Thank you again
Jason

 

You might be better off with a cable setup

 

How would one go about setting something like that up. As I have a 292 in my 56

 

Beat me to it!

 

Summit, Jegs, and other vendors sell universal throttle pedals with a cable to the carb. You could also pick from many OEM setups at the boneyard.
