Re: Firewall throttle linkage 1960 apache

I was fortunate when I installed my 305 w/ TBI. I measured the throttle linkage on the TBI and the linkage in the truck- from pivot point to where the rod connected was under 1/8" difference- so basically a 1:1 ratio. All I did was extend the rod about 2 1/2" and put a 45 degree bend at the rear to clear intake. Works smooth and have full throttle. Nice thing about TBI- has built in return spring.
