I think you're over thinking this. If it works and it's safe, you're good to go.
I haven't bought anything specific ever to make a linkage work, other than generic nuts or bolts from the hardware store. I usually just go to my stash.
Once you're into aftermarket carbs and intakes you need to do...
I think the "suitability" of these cars on long trips is also dictated by the age and condition of the owner.
In '97 I drove this Barracuda from San Diego to Vegas, Vegas to Sacramento, then on to San Francisco and finally down to LA. Maybe 1,300 miles? Admittedly it had 2.76 gears but the the...
For sure I built my car to be a "go anywhere" type of deal.
To the beach
To the city
To the shops
To the track
To the car shows
With a 3.23 rear it cruises ok and will still run 100 mph in the quarter mile.
It's got just the right amount of power for the chassis, and gets decent gas consumption...
Yes, but would depend on their age, manner etc and I would be sitting in the passenger seat. I'd tell them up front the "rules", just a gentle drive with a quick blast if required.
But how they look, act, what car they arrive in, did they arrive with their wife and family or have they turned up...

If someone is going to throw formulas out there for us simpletons, then back it up and provide some proof. Bob has kindly provided a...
So come on, let's see the teacher show the pupils the answer.
Over to you Bob, show the calculations for each carb so we know which one flows the most.
I use a formula that you may be familiar with or maybe even wrote:
Where F = How fast I want to go today, K = Carburetor cfm, D = Initial Timing, and R = How many cups of coffee I've had
Do you maybe have the same "little assistance" at speed too, but you don't notice because the car is moving and the steering is naturally lighter?
What happens if you increase the revs when stationary and move the wheel? Do you get normal assistance?
This isn't a rotary engine like a Wankel though. This is a conventional piston engine but with a different head arrangement to do away with the camshaft and poppet/mushroom valves.
Like the guy says at the end, great idea but may not get the investment required due to the direction the industry...
Just came across this video when watching a member's video of the problems he's having with his car.
Unrelated to Mopars but should be interesting for anyone with gasoline in their veins.
What EXACTLY did you remove/reinstall on the engine? Looking through some of your earlier posts you say the engine was ticking and could have a bad lifter?
It shouldn't just spontaneously crap itself, so the more info on what you did the better.
Make sure you drink plenty of alcohol before you go in and preferably have an "escort" with you who you are trying to impress with your wealth and carefree attitude to things.
