I rigged up a linkage for my carb without any cables. You can see most of it in the picture. It took some time to get all the friction out of the system. I can get full throttle with this linkage but haven't needed it yet. I did find that I had friction where the plastic foot pedal rubs on the steel throttle lever inside the cab. A little grease helped but did not fix it. A new pedal was even worse than the old one. I rigged up a pedal that I could attach to the lever without attaching it to the floor. It works much better but doesn't look very good. I have more work to do there. The small 4 bbl should work fine on the 6 cyl because the 2 primary barrels are smaller than the single barrel that was on the engine originally. All the references say it's the best carb for the application. Stay with it and you'll get it worked out.
