Hi Guys/Gals.
I have gone to the dark side and put a holley on my 3.5, in my P6. I'm not happy with the complicated throttle linkage set-up that came with the bits I used. Can you other 'heathens' show me some pics of the elegant linkage/cable set-ups you have?

At the moment I'm thinking I'll build a new bracket that extends from the back of the manifold to just above the vertical push rod from the original SU linkage, with a pivot point that pushes another rod (will have to be pretty long) to operate the throttle in a push fashion as opposed to the more common 'pull'.....

thoughts? pics? abuse for going downdraft?
 
Not quite sure how far you'll get by calling people heathens, but here are a couple of pics of the linkage I made for my weber.

Cool that's what I'm chasing! That's more elegant than my design so thanks for posting! I often get called a heathen on other sites for straying away from SUs. Just meant as a laugh, if anyone gets offended they're not the kind of person I'd enjoy chatting to anyways :)
