Re: 2 BBL to 4 BBL Throttle Hook-up

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

I do much prefer the stock look but if it's the only option then I
don't really have much of a choice. How "non-stock" does it look?

Do you remember how long of a throttle cable you had to buy?

I have built an extended kickdown linkage for me 73 Dart Sport before
and it was effective, but only a mild PITA.

Any chance I can adapt the 66 setup (3 linkages) to the 65 setup (1 linkage)?
