I'll have to take some measurements a little later for ya. I basically cut up an old bed frame for the steel, used a long bolt for one of the throttle body studs, the plastic bushings surrounding the "boomerang" are from a TV wall mount hardware kit, the spherical joints are off an old baby weber hexbar linkage and a barrel nut to hold the stock throttle cable to the bell crank linkage. To build it I basically used cardboard and my calibrated eye then transfered everything over to steel

To be honest time is very scarce at this point in time and the fitech setup and stroker is out of my bug cause I broke in a 1600 for my aunt's dune buggy. One thing I do know is the base tune(cam selection/fuel map) should be ironed out before you mess with the accel settings. Fitech has a couple tech Tuesday videos on YouTube that are helpful. I'm not sure what fuel pump setup your using(mine is in line) but I had to adjust the fuel pump pmw(aj set it to 20 I believe but it was making the system freak out) fitech told me to adjust it up to 60-70 but that made the pump cavitate so I adjusted it down to like 29 or 30 basically until I didn't hear the cavitation anymore (that could be due to the stock outlet going to a -6 gauge tee and using that for my feed and return) I think a cb performance tee would work much better to be honest but I used what was in the kit. I have a few videos on YouTube about the install that might give you a good visual on what I'm talking about.

Glad the measurements worked out for ya I like it much better than the added cable setup I made before

Hi, cracking thread you have here. I’ve sent you a private msg but not sure if you have received it. Just wanted to ask a question about your tune.
