i need to find the linkage needed in order to hook up a 2bbl carb to a 1 bbl manifold using an adapter. if anyone has the linkage i will gladly pay, because no junkyards around me have anything of the sort.



appreciated, dustin

Might have to look for cars like Volare wagons or Early 80's trucks. Get the linkage from where you can and make something work. Mine on my 63 Dart (2bbl) is not all from one car but it does work good. If your car runs now and the kickdown works, it shouldn't be too hard, depending on the orientation of the new carb. Why not go to a supersix? Better, if you can find it. Might have luck buying one here.

it does run well with my 1bbl but i need a little more get up and go. i just need a trans kickdown and whatelse?

The one bbl manifold will be restrictive for a 2bbl carb. I don't know what kind of car you have, but I can tell you the personallity of my 63 Dart changed when I went to a supersix intake. Might just look for getting the whole setup. You will be pleased. Also need throttle cable maybe.

i have the linkage off of a 318 with a carter bbd. will this linkage work or will i have to rig something up? and where can i get a new throttle cable. is there a way to modify my existing cable or what? any input would be apprecitated.......dustin

What kind of car? What carburetor? It makes a difference.
If at all possible, get a two-barrel "Super Six" manifold, and the throttle linkage and kickdown from that car.

its a 74 225 dart swinger with a 1bbl holley 1945. also has a 3 speed auto trans. will the 318 kickdown work or can i make it work?

????????

lokar cable for the kickdown. or you can just add some flat stock to your kickdown rod to make up for the adapter height. move your throttle cable up in the bracket . i'm running a holley 5200 with an adapter (73 swinger)and it runs great with a mpg increase from 13 to 19 and a lot more performance. if it's restricted as to flow it doesn't know it.

No, the rod will be bent differently because a 318 has the carb in the center but a slant six is off to the right.
Sure, it's just a piece of metal rod with connectors on each end. I've made my own from plain rod stock from home depot.

It helps that I do a little welding and I'm not afraid of fabrication (to make the end connectors). This ain't rocket science, you just need to push the little lever on the transmission back. Lockar will require some fab as well.

I'm sure i'm oversimplifing what's needed, but It's old hat after a while.
