Parts arrived for the carburetor, this insulator & AT rod extension kit to rig up to the carburetor throttle linkage.

Insulator does seem like hard rubber of composition, i do hope it seals better than the fiber composition Fel-pro insulator.
I'll see if I can rig up the AT cable extension to work as a linkage connector without modifying/drilling holes to make it work.

Currently raining cats & dogs, cutting the task of the throttle linkage adjustment short for another day.
Going to wait til tomorrow, rain is supposed to stop then.

Adjusted the throttle linkage to as close as I can to make the throttle work.
Puted the car around the block
(mostly in 1st gear on the pushbutton selector)
Then switched to the drive selection.
but the shift is delayed, trans shifted into second but I didn't allow the trans to shift further in higher gears as I didn't want to potentially burn the trans out. Will adjust throttle linkage throw.

So, I just read around that it IS possible to use a 2 barrel carb linkage on a 4 barrel carb.
Would anyone know of a reliable method to get the linkage adjusted right?
I just gave the throttle rod adjusting a try and the trans shifts way too late. Or doesn't shift into 2nd.

A 2 Barrel linkage will NOT work on a4 barrel with out alot oc cutting & welding the only thing that may work is the accelerator cable if its too short u will have to ger the right onre from a resteration yard or a swap meet (i goy my downshify rod frpom a swap meet . as for te linkag i had a thermoquad set up i used it & the rod to make my avs work
unlike a chevy with its vacuum shift modulator u can swap a 2 barrel to 4 barrel relatibe easyly . on a mopar its enterley differant

that cause it too short if u kep driving it like that u will burn the 727 up u need the right length downshift road . now if u pull the rod all the way forward it will up shift fast but i will have no down shift the down shift rod length & the adjustment @ the carb is critical just 1/10th of a inch will cause the up shift yo be early or late . after u get the right rod then tack it to a transmission rebuild shop& let them do the find adjustments

well if u do convert it . it will look like a patch job itf y r just going to drive it then it maybe ok but if u plan to show it then do it right . or u will lose points in tye show . now since u r unwilling to call me , here we go if u dont have a copy of the facktory service book ten u can guess yur way through but u really need 1 either a used one from ebay or a swap meet or a new reprint . then get the part number from a dealership (they should be able to look it up on their cd or microfilm . if not get a cd or a factory parts book (the parts books r full of diagrams on how thigs gp together ) then with the part # try parts voice or go to
AMS Obsolete he has thousands of parts
AMS Obsolete Home Page but u will need a part # . having the right part # will help u @ the parts store too even though they don't hacve a listing fot the part having a mopar part # many times they can find it in ther system

Yes, i decided to scrounge up some 4 barrel linkages up on Ebay, will see if that works. and reference off of the FSM for adjustment.
The car is not going to any serious shows.
Car already has several parts not correct to the year so winning or getting points from the judges is a pipe dream.
64' car with a 68' manifold & carb.
