Thought about that quite a bit, but my throttle pedal travel was getting very short n snappy.Thinking back, I think I had the same problem when I converted to ITBs. I made a new linkage bar with arms about 30% longer.

Alan, think I’ve figured out where the difference lies. On the Jenvey the throttle spindle is about 30mm further back from the front flange than a weber. Compare my images with the weber image posted here. This is what prevents the linkage working effectively.
longer arms make the pedal longer and slower. I think!Thought about that quite a bit, but my throttle pedal travel was getting very short n snappy.
The current leads are mock-ups just to get lengths sorted. The coil pack is Ford Gen 2. I’m getting the leads made up with correct ends on.Great idea with the AFR gauge, what coil pack are you using as I noticed it has not got a standard type plug connector. Have you got a connector to fit it.
The coil pack, plug and connectors were supplied loose by Emerald. Also supplied comprehensive wiring diagrams etc so a clanky (like me) should hopefully be able to figure the wiring black art out!The plug leads look spot on, I was on about the electrical wire connector for the coil pack,but if you can the ends then that is good.
I think I’ll probably fill the choke slot on mine it looks a bit worn and scruffy.On my old track car I fitted an OMEX Revlimiter in the ash-tray space.
On my 260 (Webers) I have installed a 280 console which is a lot neater because it doesn't have a choke slot.
Thanks Paul, nearly there now. Just got to get the motor fired up, nervous!!!Haven't read this thread in a while Andy but your progress is fantastic, an amazing restomod, quality is awesome.
