1936 Chevrolet Standard throttle

[01vette]

Can anyone please post a picture of the throttle linkage for a 1936 Standard?  I can't seem to get enough travel on the carb to fully open the butterfly with the pedal.

thanks

Do you think your car's linkage was modified or bent? What parts are you wanting to see? I put a 200 CI  6 cylinder  Mustang carb on my car and didn't have to modify any of the linkage,  just the lever on the carb. Bolted right up

How many springs are used on the throttle?  I have 2 on my car for the throttle.  One to return the gas pedal and one to control the butterfly.

I don't think springs would cause your problem. You need to find where there may be binding or lost motion. Too much carpet under the pedal can cause lost motion of the linkage.

No carpet under the pedal.  The standard just has a rubber mat in the front.  The pedal will go to the floor, but not move the butterfly to the fully open position.

Who is watching the carb while the pedal is being pushed to the floor? Is there a spacer under the carb? How fast will the car go as it is set-up? I have never looked to see all this but my car will drive at least 60MPH.

 

If you don't already know, here is a good place to get help with your car.
