Thats a nice looking Mustang you have there.

What part are you actually looking for?

Here is a link for the accelerator kits from Mustangs Unlimited.

2 bbl.

4 bbl.

Are you looking for something like this, or do you already have either of these parts?

Are you looking for the bracket that goes on the intake for the return spring or maybe for the bracket on the side of the carb that the linkage goes on?

Return spring bracket

2bbl

4bbl

woooo ... that's one very shiny mustang.
I cut a little gap into the original linkage rod and put that into the 4bbl carb with an e-clip (or c-clip?). no idea what they're called proper

1sweet65stang, Did you find what you needed?


Does anyone know where I can get the throttle rod that goes between the carb and the accelerator linkage that would have a ball socket on the end instead of the clip?
