Hey guys I was hoping someone could post a pic of the stock throttle linkage from firewall to carb. Specifically the rod and attachment to carb, along with an overall picture of the stock rod. Manual transmission if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

Thanks for the pic Shane. It looks like everything is correct on my linkage as far as parts. For some reason it seems the (bellcrank?) is over pivoted at idle and the rod is dang near laying on the manifold. On depressing the pedal the crank pivots to where I would imagine it should rest at before actuating the throttle on the carb. Is there a bracket or something that is supposed to hold the rod parallel to the manifold or anything supportive like that?

I know it's fugly. Using a period Coors can bottom for a spacer so it can't drop any lower.
From Bro's pic it's hard to tell if the bracket on the valve cover goes to the throttle rod. Although you can clearly see his bellcrank arm is sticking straight up how I picture it should be. At that pivot point is where it engages the accelerator.

Take a good look at my bell crank then look at yours again. I believe you have one for 6 cylinder.  |

The only difference I can see is that on yours the pivot ball in the linkage is in the center of the tab and on mine (and in Bro's kinda) it's slightly offset. Maybe a Fremont thing?
But in the chassis manual and assembly manual the v6 linkage looks totally different. Unmistakably different.
Do you recall any type of bracket holding the rod parralel?

There is no bracket to hold the rod . What you see on bros pic. Is a spark plug wire holder . Your bell crank has a complete different design then mine or bros.   |

Look at your pivot point on the bracket that's attached to the fire wall . Then look at the pivot on your bell crank where it connects to rod that goes to the carb. There parallel. Then look at bros, his bell crank has his rid sitting about 1" above the pivot point on the bracket.

I appreciate your help and not trying to come off as argumentative. My bellcrank looks the same as yours with a slight offset. It's hard to tell but Bro's looks like it has that same offset.
What I notice on the one in the eBay pic and don't see on yours or mine is that it looks like it has a tab on it so that it can't break that 90 degrees that mine is breaking.
The v6 linkage has what looks like a turnbuckle that the rod screws into vs the pivot stud.

Basically mine would look exactly like Bro's if it wasn't breaking that 90 degrees.

I'll try and research some more. As far as I can tell there's just a v8 and v6.
On yours, can you break that 90 like mine is or does it stop there?

Here are a couple of measurements bell crank height, then the rod that goes from bell crank to bell crank.   |
