Holley to Edelbrock 1411 conversion, need throttle linkage!

[kaj750]

Hey, guys. I had a Holley 650cfm on the car... swapped to an Edelbrock 1411 but the throttle linkage isn't working, of course. Can anyone tell me what I need to make it work? 1969 Charger with a 440/727. Thanks in advance. Pics below of what was on the car to begin with and what's on the new carb:

Awesome, thank you. That's it, then? I ordered one today to be in tomorrow, so will get to it. I assume I just flop it around until the springs, throttle cable, and kick down all fit onto something?

OOOOhhhh.... that makes all the sense. Thanks! Pic saved. Worth 1000 words.

Congrats on a great move!!

I'm hoping. EVERYONE says their car pretty much started with the carb, right out of the box. That would be amazing.

Swapped on the Edelbrock 1411. Added the linkage adapter for my car.

Smokes a bit on startup, so guessing I need to adjust the choke to lean it out a bit. Does that sound about right?

Car drives GREAT.

Thanks for the advice, guys!

Those carter style carbs are great .

Quick update: Car starts from cold start and warms up just great. New issue that I can't imagine is related... but:

When coming to a stop the car now drops to about half idle and just about wants to die. It's never done this before and didn't after changing are the carb and adding an Eddy heat insulator between the intake and carb. The car ran fine last night, with no issues. All I did today was move the electric choke to the "lean" side to get rid of my rich start up.
Am I correct in assuming this has to be an unrelated coincidence??

Further update. Removed the neoprene spacer. reinstalled carb. Choke seems spot on; the car starts without giving it any/pumping the gas pedal. Car goes when given gas, no hesitation. Car obviously drops RPM when at a stop, but no longer feels like it just wants to die. For the first time, ever, it runs well with the air cleaner on LOL.

So far, very happy with the Eddy on my street car.

Are you familiar with the curb idle screw - Idle Rpms when engine is warmed up or hot

Versus

And your choke fast idle screw - Idle Rpms when engine is cold

And of course your two idle mixture screws

All these effect your idle characteristics , hot and cold

Anyways just putting this out there - Peace

Nope. I'm not a carb guy. For the most part, this thing is working great. Well enough that I don't want to do anything that will ruin it LOL.
