Ruth, All Fords that originally had 97's used a solid rod directly thru the firewall. I run a speedster with 3 Stromberg's but only choke the center carb. I took an original rod, cut off near the carb, drilled a hole length-wise in the rod, brazed a 8-32 nut on the side that clamped the cable to that fitting. In the speedster it is a straight line from the "knob" to the carb, I just use a length of brazing rod, not an actual cable. Works fine!
