1967 firebird Holley swap. Linkage options
I sort of have this is the street section too. I didn't realize that the 67 throttle linkage was one year only with the rod. I bought a lokar cable. Will that not work at all with the 67 linkage. I saw a thread over on first gen . Org where someone suggested switching to a cable but didn't offer any how to about it.
Some already suggested switching to a 68 pedal assembly. I just want to know all my options before I start spending. And now that the motor is in I feel like I could be a nightmare to get to bolts down on the firewall to change a pedal. What are my options for a Holley with and without the rod.

Early Camaros that came with a Holley had a specific rod that is available from repro houses.

I think I'm going to have to modify my RPm slightly. The linkage is going to hit.

Hmm, I wonder if that rod will work with a 69 Firebird? I have a Holley too...

I will post a pic of my setup (67 FB, with Crosswind/RPM and Quick Fuel carb) when I get home. Throttle linkage is original-ish, 326 2bbl car.

I bought this guy http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performan...15795/10002/-1
A dude in a Facebook group had one, different brand but looks the same, said it worked great and it looked good. Cheap enough solution to give a shot. The z28 rod is bent for a taller intake. I do like that. If the Jegs rod doesn't work that will be my next stop.

I'll be waiting intently on your result
 I have a Torker II so I will probably go with the Z/28 rod. Right now I just have a bare accelerator cable with the end pinched with a screw on the Holley throttle lever. Not the best solution lol.

The one thing I'll say is I had it pull apart on me once. Now I just kinda had it hand tight in place because I was still experimenting with length. But you don't want that to happen while driving. So after I got it where I wanted it. I put some blue locktite on it and the torqued it down.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
