strange...I have one off a 440 4bl car and the rod from the pivot to the trans is a little short, I had to extend it some to make it work. It would get hung up. I'll measure it when I get home if you like. The throttle bracket assembly is higher than a 4bbl so I'd think that rod would need to be longer????




Ahh, ok, then we're talking too different things. Yes, I agree that the bellcrank on a 6bbl is higher than a 4bbl, hence causing the operational length of the tranny rod to be longer.

What I was referring to was the horizontal rod from the carb throttle lever to the bellcrank. I believe that's an inch shorter and doesn't have the pronounced bend as with the 4bbl version.

So, I guess you've answered my question about the tranny rod, it needs to be longer on a 6bbl. If you can measure it, that would be great.

guess now I need to find someone that has both used for sale or sells a reproduction.
