VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND NEWER 1946-1948 Throttle Linkage ...235 in a 46 Stylemaster

I can-not figure out how to get my stock 46 throttle linkage (216 motor) to connect to "new" 235"!

hits 235 exhaust/downpipe flange thats racked back 45 degree..
where 216 exhaust is straight down

..& how do you post a pic on this?

...gave up a year ago to work on another car...

Frenchy: my 61 235 fit just fine in my 47 but the throttle linklige does but tries to go over center and binds. bent the up rod and readjusted carb linkage--much better davids(POPS)

Davids....any chance of a pic?

I may not remember this correctly. I had a 235 as a spare if my 216 gave up. I think there was a boss on the 235 that was in the same spot as the 216 bell crank. I thought it would need to be drilled and tapped to use the 216 linkage.
