I am using a BPE kit but still prefer the simplicity of the factory setup.

---

But I haven't seen too many 318 factory 4 bbls. If you're not concerned about a resto, go with a cable.

I guess im really asking if a 340 & 360 4bbl linkages would work on a 318 with a 4BBL?

No clue on the 340. 360 without question, if you look in the parts book the parts for a 318/360 4bbl are the same.

yes the 4-v linkage is the same for 318/340/360 only a slight defference in the rod to carb depending on what carb was used..thermobog or q-jet

different yrs may have slight changes on the adjustment,some are up top only,some are down low only,some will have both upper and lower adjsutments.

some are 3-piece and some are 1-piece rods.

trucks used a 1-rod linkage..but a 3-piece set up from a car will fit and work with a slight mod to the down rod.

Does anyone possibly might have some pix of the actual 4bbl truck linkage to have some thing to go by when im out & about looking for parts? lol.

I have the factory 2bbl prebent rod from the truck, is it the same as the 4bbl only the part toward the carb is alittle longer? thought about cuting & threading it to extend it to length.

Here some pics of 2 different throttle brackets refresh my memory on what they fit

Also my top side will be 600 CFM Holley 4BBL & edelbrock peroformer intake manifold if this helps

the bracket on the right looks like a tall 4-v bracket. it would use the long flat bar on a stock intake/q-jet.

the 2-v rod is bent different and shorter. but could be used with a longer carb to bellcrank flat bar/rod.

for a holley you will need the mopar/holley throttle adaptor and then use a stock throttle stud.

I have used 2 of the flat rods bolted together to make a carb to bell crank flat bar long enuff to work.

here is what I have. 2 complete set ups for a 85 4-v truck.

have some extra flat bars,short or long.
