I am typing this 3rd party as I have someone installing my Weber Carb (still injured). Got the Carb installed, but the throttle cable and detent rod will not reach the new position of the carb. I know I am not the first to install a 32/36 on a 250ci, but this is the first thing I heard about needing to adjust these with an install. Help.
Probably because most guys would just not run one instead of figuring out how to fix it. When my kick rod didn't reach my carb I just made an extension bracket to make it work. They also sell throttle extensions, or even cooler you can make one out of eye bolts and all thread. Or just be creative, like using a simple rod: http://www.fordification.com/forum/...k=t&sd=a&sid=7138944d16f3d521ddcee2f650f75189
I tried to find out if this was within my means before I ordered it. (I can "Replace" most stuff - never really ventured into upgrading until now) I read quite a few articles about the install. No mention of having to fabricate new kickdown rods. (Throttle cable I can handle). Do you have a picture of an extention bracket. Also I read in one post someone was looking to replace the rod with a cable. There was no answer to his question. Anyone know if there is a good donor car-type that this would work with?
I think he meant the some would just not run the Kickdown Rod instead of figuring out how to hook it up. I ran without one for quite some time on a c4 and never really noticed it not shift correctly.
Yeah I re-read it and edited my response. Just was a little frustrated and read it wrong the first time. Between the torn rotator cuff and not being able to help my son finish his car ----People who text and drive are evil (cause of my injuries). Thank you everyone for your help. Matt leaves to work at Boy Scout camp for 6 weeks in less than a month. I really want him to have his Maverick with him.
I'd take you a picture but When I sold the carb I sold it with the bracket intact. I'll dig through my old pictures to see if i can find it, I got the bracket off a ford truck then cut some pieces off, and drilled a hole to mount it to the existing lever....that's all i can remember
