Tom Sterndale had a couple questions: I have just become aware that there are two types of accelerator linkages from pedal to carberator. One has a pivot pin on the lifter cover and up over the valve cover. The other is mounted to the rear of the engine and work the carb. from the right side of the motor.
1. Is the carb. the same with linkage attaching at same place?
2. When were each used?
Both carbs are the same. I know the over the valve cover linkage was used on the cis and I know the rear mount was used on the Jeepster. Not sure what the trucks used.
My ’51 stake-body truck has the rear mount linkage.
