throttle linkage

After looking at several pictures and posts, it looks like people set up the throttle linkages 2 different ways on these cars (either toward the front, or the rear of the engine). Is their a prefered way to set these up?

Pretty-much whatever you can make work. Remember, these cars never came to the USA with carbs, so there's no standard method.

It's all personal preference.

Is there a part that i can buy to convert my existing cable to work with this carb linkage?

No, but you can modify the carb linkage to work great with the stock cable prretty easily.

I'm sorry I didn't take pics before I ditched the H-bar--- I eventually made my own linkage from 2 small pulleys, a motorcycle cable splitter, and 2 bicycle brake cables, a couple of bits of angle iron.

Worked MUCH better than a Hexbar.
Only ever had to adjust it once, and my accellerator pumps stopped piddling continuously.

Then I ditched the carbs entirely for the L-Jet manifolds and CIS.
I should have done it sooner.
That setup will work pretty well with the stock cable, I hear

I miss the music of the Webers, but that's all I miss.

This is off topic...but I wanted to spark a thought in piledrivers head. Think of this (you probably already have)......the CIS fuel distributor unit and the control pressure regulator...simply as a very nice fuel pressure regulator.........feeding electronic injectors........that only see triggering impulse attached to the ignition either at the distibutor or a crank trigger wheel. That way they are rpm sensitive. As airflow rises....fuel pressure rises but more more precisley than a vacuum regulator could do it. Then you set the pulse rate to decrease as rpm rises to keep it in check.....

Just having fun! Ray
