Adjustable throttle rod
I'm looking for a good straight adjustable throttle rod for what was it, 49-50 Ford truck? Yeah, there is one on ebay but threads don't look too swift. What do you have? (I need one for my 35 PU which has a 39 engine and a 97 carb. I can't find one that fits. 10" plus or minus. Can measure but not at the shop right now when it's on my mind. I have a NOS one that must be close to 17-18" that I may just have to measure, cut and weld.

Re: Adjustable throttle rod
Fashion one from a turnbuckle or threaded rod union from HomeDepot or Lowes.

Re: Adjustable throttle rod
Here's a picture of my choke rod with a coupler like Jack mentions. With this small diameter rod, take care to keep the rod centered in the die when cutting the threads It will easily get pushed off center.

Re: Adjustable throttle rod
Same fix with the threaded union and jam nuts on my 40.
