Screen Name says what I have, I know I need a valve job and when that happens I will do the manifold upgrade. Reading in the article section, will the donors have to be these for the throttle/trannie linkage or what else can or will work for this mod? I still need to get the carb but Im wondering with the say 77 and up, won't that have a bunch of vaccum ports on the carb that need to be pluged or what? |

If you have an automatic transmission you will have to use either the factory two barrel kickdown linkage or a cable style linkage (either home-made or Lokar). You also might have some problems with the throttle linkage. I am not familiar with the throttle linkage on the early a-100 vans so I can't help you. As far as the carbs go you can use a BBD from any year (including the sixties) or you can just get some vacuum caps and cap the extra vacuum fittings on a late 70's/80's carb. Another thing to watch out for is air cleaner clearance with your "doghouse." Otherwise, this is a very good mod and you will like the result. Reed |

OK, So now I have snagged a carb and tranny linkage off of a 72 van, and haven't really looked or played around to see what else I'll need. I need to do a rebuild on the carb! Looking and trying to figure out how to get the throttle linkage to work, what do I need to get for that to work? Thanks again |

What kind of throttle linkage do you have (rod linkage or cable style)? Can you post some pictures of it? Reed |
