Re: Ultramatic throttle linkage adjustment
Posted by HH56 On 2019/8/1 22:27:03
Once the lever is adjusted on the throttle shaft there is nothing more that needs doing under the car. If the top measurement is correct then that part of the linkage should also be OK. While the adjustment point is far forward, it does look like there is still a bit more it could go so it is not past adjustment and may be OK. One thing I notice is your car appears to have never had the extension installed on the rear link piece. Installing one might help the situation.
The only other thing I can think of that might affect where the point sits is the shape of the rod going down to the trans. If that rod is bent and measurement is wrong that could be causing the issue. Here is the official rod measurement but as long as the bracket is not forced against the forward nut I think I would be tempted to leave it alone.
