    I'd appreciate if you would post pictures showing a functional and traditional looking throttle linkage or rod/cable set up for one carb. I took a pic as it is now - performs just well enough but I'm planning to make it work and look better. Screen Shot 2020-04-07 at 20.55.14.png

    Here you go. Old style s**** pedal mounted on inside of firewall and rod through the wall out to the carb. Simple and works well. Pictures are a little dark. 20200218_201831.jpg 20200218_201843.jpg

    For duals, but I'm sure it would work fine for a single carb.

    ^^^ This works great. If using a carb with linkage on other side I move/weld an arm on that other side--done many.
    Not real fond of the cable throttle setup

    Thanks for your advice. I have a s**** pedal and will start planning a linkage to make the setup smooth and dependable.
