My orange 64\'s progress:

I have a question - in that last pic you see how your pedal linkage on the firewall is sitting at an angle, mine is not like that, mine points out straight toward the front of the car, so if i run a straight rod to the carb it will not "pull" it will only "lift" the linkage, but not enough to open the throttle.

Why is mine like that ?

Did it come out of the factory last ? is it the runt ?

*****EDIT*****

I just re-read your other post, i guess i'll heat mine, im gonna run the lokar bracket and throttle cable, at the rear of the intake im gonna fab up a little bracket to hold the cable just below the pedal inkage, as the pedal pulls towards the firewall it will lift/pull the cable


Mine is stock but wish my pedal was a bit higher than it is. Not much travel there, enough but having to stretch the toes to reach it isn't fun either.
I noticed on 64galaxies there are mounting holes for the stock type linkage thingy bob, can't think of the real name.

I'm referring to the mounting holes in the raised area on the back of the intake.
