The current setup is a Chrysler stock 4bbl intake, the Edelbrock carb, with the Chrysler throttle adapter. My problem is the throttle cable hookup. Does anyone have a picture of the throttle and kickdown linkage going to a Edlebrock carb? The engine is a 383 setting in 68 Charger. Thanks Joe

Good luck!! Don. 4892302-AVS383linkage.JPG (113 downloads)

It works, but not very pretty, and doesn't have quite enough adjustment. In my case the throttle cable was plenty long enough. Does anybody know if this kit from Mancini will work on a 318? It sounds like it will work with the stock KD linkage, which is nice. http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/thbrwikdprfo1.html -Dave

Its kinda like Weedhopper going to the Old Kungfu Master and asking him questions. If you need his phone or address, I will gladly give out. Joe

You can also cut and lengthen your existing rod, it is case hardened so you may need a cut off wheel to cut it. Also as you have found the cable is too short. Mopar still sells them.
