56 Super Throttle Linkage

Recommended Posts

Back to pedals again.  I noticed one of your pictures in post #26 showed a pedal with a stud on the bottom with a rubber bumper.  I don't know which Buick used that arrangement, but on 55's there never was a stud.  Replacement pedals from vendors are supplied with the stud, which I break off before use.  The stud would limit pedal movement.

Hello Everyone 

i have the same problem with my throttle lever not reaching WOT to actually on the secondaries. Does anyone have a spare full operating rod they can sell me?

in what direction do you adjust the throttle operating lever after loosening the splined clamp. 
my car came with a CARTER AFB  COMP SERIES carb. Can anyone measure the length of their existing operating rod just to compare lengths?

Thank you all in advance.

Your 56 may be different than my 55, since there is no clip at ball on the pedal rod.  After a failure on the road and limping with tape and wire at the ball end, I replaced with well lubricated good used and now carry these parts in my travel kit.

Where did you buy or can get this, I have a 55 buick and had the same problem. Thanks
