Got a chance to work on the SX/4 last night and made some real
progress. The engine is ready to go in the car but I decided to add the
Holley carb now.
I just need to figure out the linkage. The real pain is the kickdown
linkage requires that I use the stock mounting locations, otherwise I would use
a mid 70's throttle cable plate and mount it to the intake manifold in place of
the current throttle plate assembly. I tried using threaded rod with carb
pivot ends screwed on the ends but it still wants to pull it down instead of
back. I will need to fabricate a pivot plate that hooks to the rear carb
mounting bolt or something to that effect.
I hope to have it running late Tuesday or Wednesday if all goes well.
The only serious impediment to that would be fabricating throttle linkage.
Any ideas?
