Throttle linkage

I need the linkage and return spring that connects the floor peddle to the carburetor. I looked at Summit and, there are so many different ones I have no idea which one I need. Could someone please head me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Throttle linkage

I have used threaded rod with two heim joints. That worked pretty well.

Re: Throttle linkage

The swedged aluminum throttle linkage rod from Speedway (in black or Aluminum color) makes for a very tidy and sturdy linkage setup, don't forget the right hand and left hand heim joints for each end.

https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Swedg...read,3944.html

This swedged throttle linkage tubing is tapped 3/16" (10-32) LH and RH thread. One end of the throttle rod will have left hand threads, and the other end will have right hand threads. Made of 5/16" x 0.049 round aluminum tubing.

Note: When measuring for your tube length, you will want to allow 1.5" in length for the rod ends (3/4" of length for each end when calculating your eye-to-eye measurement. For instance, an eye-to-eye length of 11.5" would require a 10" swedged tube.

That's how I did mine on my 66.
My 65 has the original linkage.

Re: Throttle linkage

You are also going to need the bushing and sleeve that goes in the large hole in the throttle arm on the carb.

Re: Throttle linkage

I just did mine and used a 12 inch 3/16 throttle rod form e-bay that had the ends and bolted one to the carb and the other to the accelerator bracket and adjusted. It seem to work great.
