NEED 914/6 THROTTLE LINKAGE PARTS, 914/6 Throttle linkage rebuild Options

[marinmcgreevy]

Hi All,

Starting to work on my 914/6. One of the things I do not like is the throttle linkage. The car has 40IDA Webers on tall manifolds. The throttle linkage is a cable (with a ball socket on the end) attached directly to the cross bar. The throttle cable goes under the engine and then makes a sharp turn up to the slot in the sheet metal for the normal 914/6 throttle rod. The car has a sideshifter so that is why I think this car is set up the way it is. The throttle works fine but having the cable make two sharp 90 degree turns does not sit well. I am looking for the bell crank that mounts on the stud that is pressed into the intake manifold. The manifold has the stud but no bell crank. Pelican carries the bushing but not the bell crank.

Does anyone know of a good source for such parts? I need the bell crank and the rod that goes from the bell crank to the cross bar. I am including a photo of a set for sale on ebay. I do not need the manifold or I would bid on the parts.

Thanks and Merry Christmas! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

You have options here. It sounds like this is an original 914-6 that someone put a side shifter into? No?

If this is an original six, get your bell crank parts from Rich Johnson, he has all the original stuff. I think it is around $300. The bell crank is the part that bolts onto the trans. The parts you circled are just carb linkage parts you can grab off of just about any carb'd 911. PMO has those parts if you need them (You will if you don't have them).

Or - You could buy my bell crank kit, but you would also need a 914-4 throttle cable. It is meant for 914-4 to 914-6 conversions. So I wouldn't recomend it if you have an original six. It is $65 and I think a throttle cable is around $20?

Hope that helps, post pictures if you can. That helps out a lot. Let us know if you need anything. We are here to help! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
