Re: [AMC-list] linkage

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,\
 Didnt they have Linkage instead of a cable in 68? I know the AMX did.  I 
believe that is his issue. 

 I would swap over to a later model cable setup if it were mine. Swap out the 
pedal and cable.

The pedal in the car is the same on sixes and V-8s. Just change the cable and 
the brackets on the intake. The cable may even be long enough. I think most of 
the guys who say the linkage needs to be changed are talking about the later 
model cars. The 72+ models use a throttle cable also, but they have a link down 
to the transmission that must be changed. If you're running the original 68 
Borg-Warner auto or a manual trans you won't have that problem.

How far is Spring Lake from Charlotte? The majority of Carolina AMC members are 
in the Charlotte area, but there may be a few near you -- we're scattered around 
NC and SC. www.carolinaamc.com, drop us a line!
