the fairlane has a rod system connecting the gas pedal to the carb, not a cable. since i am changing carbs, the original rod for the 4100 carb does not work with the holley.

so i need to make an adjustable rod to connect this to the throttle lever on the carb ... that is a coat hanger on there in the pic :nonono:

anyway i just thought you guys might find this topic interesting ... :shrug:
