I have my tranny mated up to the engine on a dolly and am trying to get the throttle valve linkage hooked up. I have the original one piece linkage that came off the car ('71 Satellite) but am have problems getting it to fit. First I will say that I replaced the stock intake/carb with an aluminum DP4B and 650 Eddy carb.

I have a couple of problems:

1) The linkage is ~2" to far towards the center of the engine and won't line up with the carb.

2) The one piece rod is hitting the back of the cylinder head.

Is the new intake/carb screwing me up that much? I didn't think that the new carb was 2" wider than the original. Were there two different setups (one for 2-brl and one for 4-brl)?

I'll try and post pics tonight.
