    What grommet/nylon bushing are you guys using to connect 60's GM throttle rods to a newer edelbrock? The hole is too big for the stock rubber grommet?

    I haven't found one on the Edelbrock webpage.

    thanks pprather. I had seen that one show up before, but I hadn't seen the reviews that indicate it does fit an Edelbrock. It seems that that is the solution I was lookin for.

    Bob, the rubber bushing you posted appears to be the stock one that would work on the linkage at the firewall, but is too small for the edelbrock.

    I ordered the Moroso one and it ended up being too thick to allow my cotter pin to go through the hole. As it turns out, the stock GM one does fit the 1/2 hold in the Edelbrock, even though many folks online say it didn't.

    If you have a bench grinder or small hand grinder tou can thin it if but chance you still wanted to use the moroso. Just a thought.
