Default Accelerator Rod

Can someone please show me what the correct acceleratorrod (going from the accelerator pedallinkage to the carb) looks like for the '68' 302, please? I can't find them for sale and the one I have appears to be forthe wrong engine.. (this one)http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/ite...sp?T1=69772+01
Itworked on the Autolite 2100 I had but now that I'm going to a Holley Street Avenger 570cfm and I don't think it'll work and I need the correct part. Thanks, Scott

While it might not be the answer you are looking for....

Threaded rod and little 90 degree fittings from McMasterCarr work excellent for creating your own custom legnth accelerator rod.

"Ball joint shielded linkages"

I did not use a fully threaded rod...I bought a couple different lengths but I forget which one I acutally used.

This pic might show it better:



The rear is attached with a "Ball joint shielded linkages" and the front attached to the carb with a spring loaded quick on and off linkage. All of it was from Mcmastercarr. Simply browse through 'linkages' and I think you will find everything you need. That's what I did
