I ma entering project clean up the engine bay next week.... First things first, personally put the plastic fuel filter in the garbage. Next, looked for anything chafed. I can't stand the all thread running through the throttle linkage bellcrank. So, once I know what carbs I have, I am definately going to clean up this gritty linkage with a nicer looking and functioning one. Thanks experts!

If you have round air cleaners, then the carburetors are probably Solex/Kadron.

That set of linkage, called "bell linkage" is absolutely great. I wouldn't switch, just clean them up and paint the rods.

Larry, the fulcrum and braket are cobbled up cracked welded aluminum with all thread running through a cobbled up piece of aluminum tubing.

Ok but if you replace them, go with the same system. They're easy to set up and work great.

you have kadron carbs that linkage is a good one but if you want adjustability and finetuneing I would go with the scat push pull linkage

I will fab up a new fulcrum so it's not pipe on all thread!
