Throttle cable to linkage kit?

[luvmud]

Going from a Motorcraft carb back to a stock carb. 12/74 model with cable throttle and the Aisan is a 77 (I believe) with the rod type linkage. I'm sure this is a common problem and yes I have searched. Or would it be easier to switch the Aisan to cable? Any help or suggestions appreciated.

12/74 carb would not have had a throttle cable...

09/73 was the start of mechanical carburetor linkage opposed to the cable systems used on the earlier trucks....

So another PO mod. Looks like I need to round up some mechanical linkage...

Anybody know what years would be compatible? There's one on ebay thats for later year models. Anybody know if that would fit a 12/74 model?

You can convert a linkage carb to a cable carb. It's not that hard. Uses the 70-73 fj40 throttle cable (31") a Lokar swivel cable end and a couple fabbed up brackets. Doing it this wayt you can use just about any stock carb for a 2f work. Including the FJ6o carbs. Though you will need a spacer for the FJ 60 carbs.
