Re: [AMC-list] Aluminum 195.6 Throttle Linkage

Scott,

If you can be patient, I think I have the parts you need.  I understand that you are trying to fit a 195.6 cast iron drive train into a 1963 Classic which had the aluminum engine.  You need pieces of the 2-bbl (WCD Carter) accelerator linkage.  I have a 63 classic sitting in my back yard and have parted out a couple of six cylinder Classics and americans.  I'll see if I can't find some of the parts, but it may take a few days.
