I wish to know if there is differents linkage rods if I use a Stromberg 97 carb or a Ford model 59 carb? As I can see it seems to be different lenght of the rod depending of which carb I use.

I just measured mine which fits fine on either carb. OFF the linkage on both ends measures 10.5 " connected @ carb and firewall arm measures just shy of 11" The 2 ball ends add just shy of a 1/2" to the installed. Depends on how worn the 2 1/4" balls are. Hope this is clear as mud. ?? ken ct.

Jehn, The length of the rod depends upon many factors including the firewall design and its distance to the carb, as well as the accelerator linkage. I am attaching a drawing that I made showing a few of these lengths. Don Rogers

Thanks everybody for feedback. At the moment I use a Stromberg 97 carb and the rod is about 10 1/2" from end to end. The other day I tried with a Ford model 59 carb and the rod was to long and should be about 9 1/4". I have seen that different rods are available but no one about 9 1/4". My car is an -41 Bus Coupe.

Jehn, The correct rod length for the 41 Ford is 10. 44 according to Don Roger's chart. The original carburetor would have been a 91-99 which has the same dimensions as the model 59. Could you post a photo, so we could make a better guess as to why the 10.5 rod will not work? Was this car imported from the USA? Tom

I apologize for late respons TomO. For the moment I have the Stromberg carb on so I can't get a relevant picture showing the rod and the Ford 59 carb. Yes Tom, the car was imported from your country and has a 59AB engine.

Jehn, a photo of the stromberg and the linkage would be a good start to help us see what may be wrong.

On my 36 I can use the same rod for the 94 or Strom carbs/ Maybe PO bent the carb lever at the carb. The 10.5 one should fit either one. ken ct.
