Most of the /32” hardware was pre-WWII. However some is still used today which is why Grainger sells the wrenches.

They call that a Mexican toolbox around here.
Around here you see a lot of migrants working on their vehicles in the auto zone parking lot or parking lots of the pick a parts.
I have actually seen that is the tool of choice there.
I personally don't like those because they slip real easy and usually have to put all my weight into it when it's a tough bolt
Common one not shown is 5.5 mm or 7/32.
Trucker’s toolbox.

And as youtube sensation AVE calls it, a NUTFUCKER!

I'm so irritated right now. I'm working on the scamp, sorting bolts and cleaning parts.
My mom yells down and says , are you ready for the Christmas party?? She is completely ready to go.
I completely forgot and I was just thinking to myself what a peaceful time to work on the scamp.
It's so stupid anyways because they are doing a Christmas around the world theme so they want me to dress in my traditional dress.
Just when I got comfortable in my dirty clothes. I had a blast today getting dirty and now I have to clean up early to go see a bunch of people I don't want to see and answer a bunch of ignorant questions about my country of origin.
I'm thinking of playing dead so they go away and leave me alone dammit

Aren’t you old enough to just say “no”?
Oh, chillax! It doesent happen very often. i get it,you were on a roll and someone had to come along and ruin it. If i had a dollar every time that happened,well i would have at least 5 bucks.
Today i was on a roll,then some guy needed a tire repaired, i was the only one around,all the other shops closed. I ended up shutting down right after that. Lost my groove.

Technically yes, but when I stop and think about what my adoptive parents have done for me.
I don't want to tell them no and disappoint them.

I get that...but respect is a two way street...and they should get that too.
Is there different lengths kick down rod. Is a 340different than a 318?
Ddaddy
Just doing what I do
I think it is more which transmission type and 2 bbl vs 4bbl than engine size.
What are you trying to do?
I dont think so. 2bbl and 4 bbl are different. Maybe 727/904 are different lengths too. So that would make 4 choices.
Max has a 318 that won't shift right. I think his rod is too short. He went from a 2 barrel to a 4
Is there a guide/chart as to the length he needs?
Its too short for sure.

Just the facts, ma'am
Maybe, somewhere.
I check the Munroe book - IIRC there are two different lever arms for the transmission.
There are also different lengths of the rods (links) for the different intake heights.
It would help to know specifics as the 'kickdown' system changed from 3 rods with 2 bellcranks to 1 rod and no bellcrank. At least for cars. Trucks could be different.
Thanks I will print it off for him
Ok thanks

When I changed from the single plane intake to the LD340, I had to change linkage.
You can see a 'direct action' link on this page also some good diagnostics in this booklet

Here's a whole pamphlet here on shift linkage - and it shows both types.
