318 4 bbl install and linkage questions
Thanks Dave for that explanation! Did what you explain and made a flat stock piece with 1 inch between the hole for the kickdown and it didn't work at all. The geometry was way of. But with your explanation my side to construct things kicked in and solved it like this:
I had already made a bracket for the throttle cable like this. The flat piece for mounting the throttle cable is slightly angled downward.
The kickdown rod(throttle pressure) I extended with a round rod that was 1.38 inch or 35mm. Cut off the kickdown rod where it had that elbow angle and welded the round rod piece together so it became extended outward too. It has no angle execpt the extended piece.
Cut the 2 bbl throttle and kickdown stud where the threads ends.
Took with the angle grinder 0.06inch or 1.5mm on the throttle stud nut. Then I cut of a bolt to extend what was left of the kickdown stud.
Welded it together so it looks like this.
This is how it looks finished. It works like intended and have 1/8 inch end play now. Going to grind the kickdown rod and stud to make it look smooth and then paint it.
But thanks Dave anyway you gave me insight how to modify the geometry.
Hope this can help anyone also.
