Ld4b early edition manifold

So the linkage from my existing carb won't do the job?

Sorta and sorta not. I would get the adapter. It's cheap and it will assure the throttle linkage works correctly. You can get it for like 20 bucks.....shipped.

I am just blown away that we are giving someone advice here who is actually listening. It's blowin my mind.

That said, you are gonna have a nice little ride man. Can you post pictures of the whole car?
