Ok so I took the time and knocked out the linkage setup today. After much deliberation and trial with error I got it to work flawlessly. I went an bought the extra linkage made for the ford kick down linkage, (useless)! The carb comes with all you need minus a small cotter pin. See pics I post in a few…
Removal is very typical, new carb goes right in place new gasket and all. I took off the springs connecting the kick down to the carb plate. Before putting the new carb on, I used the supplied block off nut on the bottom of the carb where the old overflow (??? ) return is… I plugged off the front 2 vaccume lines. Put that new guy on and got started on the linkage. So for the kick down I tapped and drilled for a cotter pin on the end of the linkage attached to the carb side. The original clip I cut oh the end which connected to the rod arm. I Set in the kick down in the clip and the throttle linkage and set the pin. When I started the car it idled at about 2000 rpm, I looked and the idle screw wasn’t even close so adjusting that was pointless. I disconnected the throttle linkage and (see pics ) set the linkage arm back one ball from the stock position. Once this was done it rand like a charm, no sputter, no popping, no hesitation. This was literally right out of the box, purred like a kitten… Lol
ill attract pics but I have to figure how to upload from my phone. Here are the before pics. I hope I helped at least one person with this.. Enjoy!
I’m doing it today and I’ll keep you posted. The only significant thing I’ve found thus far is running a 12 volt source to the carb… It’s a pretty simple changes but makes a huge difference, from performance to trouble shooting… I’ll post a pic when complete.
I just bought my edlelbrock 1411, it comes with the electric choke. I’ve talked to some guys and they all love this carb… I’ll keep you posted on the fit and install..
