Default Big car throttle rod

Can anyone post a picture of how the throttle rod on a 1964 big car attaches to the arm on the center carb. 1961-1964 should be similar. Thanks

This is the setup for my 63 Bonne wagon that I have ready to install.
I hope this is helpful, let me know if you need any other views.

Is your car an automatic or a manual? If it's an auto, you will need a ball stud at the bottom of the throttle arm.

I have everything now but the throttle stud does not seem to be the correct length. Could you measure the distance from the arm on the carb to the end of the ball stud. thanks.

The ball stud for the accelerator throttle rod is 1" from the carb arm.

This is a manual trans set up.

Pivot mechanism on firewall are 61 then change in 62 and I believe change again for 63-64. Rods are similar but lengths probably different with each change. The 61 and I think 62 each had return spring as part of the firewall mechanism. Later had a long return spring from carb lever to a bracket mounted to a manifold bolt so that could result in different rods also.

Oh good. I have a 1964 Tripower engine in a 1962 car. I guess I have to experiment. Thanks.

Maybe this will help. 64 carbs, 61 manifold, 61 linkage on firewall. A couple of these were when I had the later style progressive linkage and a couple were after I put on proper 61 fuel pipe and the early style progressive linkage.
