    The first thing you ave to change is the bracket that goes on the intake,350 is too short for the BBB,then worry about the linkage.Bruno.

    I guess you mean a throttle cable?

    Since I am new to this restoration business, what I need is all the parts that will link the accelerator to the carburetor. I know enough to be dangerous, so I have people that will assist me with the restoration. Thank you for your help

    The only other thing you would need is the throttle cable bracket (if running a Q-jet). Mike Garrison sells those.
