Looking great, Dan.

 

Thanks

Made up a Frankenstein throttle from the donor car, the original slant six throttle utilizes rod type linkage would’ve been a nightmare to adapt imo.
Mounted it to the firewall, everything works, carb goes WO and kick down linkage functions as it should.

 

I’d try a throttle cable setup from a later Abody. Get everything from the pedal to the carb stud. The /6 cable will work fine it’s what I use on my 440s the intakes tend to get a little tall.

 

A 1966?

 

Yes
1963 to 1966 same basic body style.

Used a /6 cable in my OT dart fastback when I dropped in the tall 2x4 intake. Trying to keep this from getting bumped!
Looks like with the long top part you are going to have a ton of travel. When using a cable, try not to over extend it, they stretch enough as is. Also watch how it moves thru travel. Side rub is bad.
A friend had 4 cables break over the years in 4 very different cars.

 

I added to the bottom also. When the pedal ends travel -stops- the carb is at WOT
I’ve read about using the later model throttles, I just haven’t found one yet.
Thanks @oldiron 440 and @RodStRace
