Piggy experts - help with acclerator linkage

[CandyPants]

So...my truck is a 9/73. It has the F.5 motor in it. It now has a aisin carb back on it. We are working on rebuilding the accelerator linkage. Herein lies the issue. I don't know if it's a cable (pre 9/73, I am told non inclusive) or linkage with a rod (9/73 and on). So that being said, it should have the linkage (or remnents from when the PO converted to a Weber). But it doesn't.

Also, it has the one pronged gas pedal, indicating a cable linkage. So, the folks at SOR say it should be linkage, but damned if I can see the parts on the pedal and brackets and what not on the firewall.

Any ideas?

My 73 has a cable. It is not stock, but the pedal is definitely a cable type. My 78 was a linkage and was very different.

The cable type pedal assy. ends before the firewall. The linkage type protrudes through the firewall with a pink accordion boot.

dont know if this helps, but Marks has a cable / linkage assy that joins a cable gas pedal to a linkage carb. I just used one to work the carb on my 2F powered 69 pig....

my 9/'73 was linkage. Its pretty similar to FJ40 linkage. Obviously not exactly swapable, but the idea is the same.

If its linkage, there is a oblong hole above where the gas pedal mounts to firewall-part of the pedal will stick out of this hole, and there will/should be a orange rubber boot there. If cable, there is a hole about where the top of the gas pedal is with a threaded hole on either side-this is where the cable mounts to the firewall.

Just looked it up, if you are FJ5537000 or earlier, its cable, FJ5537001 and newer is linkage.

used the same set up from Mark A. to get the cable pedal to a linkage aisin 2F on the 69 piggy HTH

OK, that helps a lot!!! FJ5534888. Cable it is.

I thought so...it just didn't seem like the linkage parts were there. Thanks so much!!!!
