Are the throttle rods the same for a 225 and 170? I now have one of each and was curious about the interchangeability. Did '65 and '66 also use the throttle rod or did it get changed to a cable type assembly? Thanks, Greg |

65 Slant 6 had the rod, V8 had cables. I think 66 changed to all cables but I am not sure. |

The only pre-'67 LHD Slant-6 A-bodies that had cable-type throttle were those with factory air. All others had the rotating-rod setup, in which some parts are different for 170 vs. 225. |
