Re: Ultramatic Clutch Disc and Linkage questions

I would assume (but i'd love Ross's input) that if you took the bellcrank in the bellhousing out of the equation, and made one piece to bypass it, that you'd have to flip the lever over on the end of the tranny rod to make sure that rod turned the same direction when you hit the gas in each setup. (See masterpiece of art diagram.)
IF that's the case (that the TV pin turns the same way on both setups when you hit the gas), and my setup is mocked up correctly, i think i found what i needed from another post of Ross's, and i think it's as close as you can get with bent linkage:
"Here's the deal for quick and dirty Ultra-happiness: Put the throttle linkage in roughly the right orientation, but leave the clamp screw loose on that little arm. Poke your choke open with your finger and let the throttle linkage snap back to a slow idle position (no need to run the engine) Set the length of your throttle pull rod so that the end is close to 2 3/4 inches above the surface of the head (fig 89, p 26) A piece of square cardboard with a pencil mark on the edge works just fine. Now get under the car and lightly turn the shaft that little lever is on CCW til it stops. Bring it CW just a tiny skosh, a couple of degrees, and then tighten the clamp bolt. Done. A right angle screwdriver is a really big help for this."
If this applies (and it might not because the 2 3/4 dimension might not work on my 50) then it shouldn't be terrible to get close, and i'm assuming any problems with the setup would be apparent.
Comments? I could be way wrong.
