Littlestown Mike Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Looking for a picture or illustration of the correct linkage for the above mentioned car. Mustang linkage is different and that information is available. Linkage for 1964 Falcon is also different as the 3 speed auto C4 was not offered in Falcon until 1965. This is for a friend's car. He just got it running this week after many years. It started and ran, but the way the linkage is currently set up, the throttle return spring holds the throttle open--disconnecting the spring allows the engine to idle. Specif9ically --need to see the size of the spring and where it hooks on both ends. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalef62 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 This is from a 1966 Ford manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlestown Mike Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Larry, Thank you, but I believe that this Falcon has the floor-mounted accelerator pedal. IIRC, the '65 Mustang introduced that suspended pedal and the Large Fords used it too, but I think Falcon stayed with the old style. I will forward it to my friend.

rocketraider Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Would a 1965 Ford service manual have that information? It'd be a great investment anyway if he has a 65 Falcon. Which, in 2dHt, convertible or wagon/Squire form, is a way cool vehicle to own.😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalef62 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) That diagram is for Falcon, Comet and Fairlane six cylinders. It is from a 1966 Ford shop manual. Edited November 30, 2022 by dalef62 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Car in question is a 1965. 1966 Falcon and 1966 Comet/Fairlane have different bodies from their 1965 versions. Don't know how much of the underpinnings are the same between years. That's why I suggested the 1965 manual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I think this is the linkage you want but all it shows of the spring is the very end in the top left corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
