Weber IDA's

WOW

Kinda flashy Julian.

I never would have figured that purple was your style.

ACCobra had asked for linkage pictures. The problem is that I can't get in there with a camera.

Everything is too close.

I can probably sketch the linkage out to you.

I have to find my Crayons first. Now lets see, where is that purple one?

Yeah and clash with the green, but I never did have any dress sense

Don't worry, first job is to strip the anodizing, I got all the attention I need around here... Reno 911.

Doug: A sketch would be great, the linkage is black, so just draw that in relation to the purple stacks and I'll be able to understand

Julian

Is there anylinkage on the set up now?

Do you just need to know how to attach the Pantera throttle cable to the bellcrank?

Is there a bellcrank?

Doug,

There is a linkage between the two stack sides and back to a central arm bell crank, like the set up in the attached photo, so yes I guess I just need to know how this connects to the throttle cable and where the throttle cable post goes.

Julian

Well, you posted a Chevy picture but that's ok.
If you have the same type of left to right connection.

The Pantera has a pull accellerator cable rather then a push.

You need to get a -3 right hand thread "rod end". Unless you can find a metric rod end. I would say don't bother with that. Use the SAE rod end.

You can get one from Jegs or Sumit Racing.

It is going to have an SAE (US) internal thread of 10-32.

The Pantera throttle cable is metric.

What you are going to do is to rethread the rod end with the same metric thread as on the cable end.

The metric size escapes me for the moment. The metric thread and the rod end thread are so close in size and pitch that you won't hurt the rod end by doing this.

So you will need the metric tap for this also.

The two arms on your bellcrank for your setup are going to be at 7 o'clock and 4 o'clock. The distributor location we will call 12 o'clock.

The rod end that you are installing needs to be on the 7 o'clock arm, mounted under the arm.
You may need to shim the rod end away from the arm so as not to hinder the movement of the ball.

For that you will want some #10 A/N flat washers.
Also I find that the best bolts to use on these are allen head cap screws and nylok hex nuts.

That's all there is to it EXCEPT you need to locate the cable to run under the distributor in such a way as not to bind the cable internally.

I think you may be out of luck with finding purple bolts though.

The manifold is a Hall Pantera and it has a center post linkage. Can someone with an IDA set up post a photo of how that center linkage is supposed to hook up to the throttle cable. Does the cable run through the center of the carbs or am I missing a part or two?

Thanks, Julian

Be a real man and keep them purple! Show everyone that you're secure in your manhood and don't care what others think about colors!

Julian,

I need to change the color of mine too. Must have come from the same place:

Ah, maybe it's a Hall trait, perhaps he took the "Purple Passion" way beyond the realm of sanity.

At least they are not off Bev's Pink Panther car

Actually I was thinking at least I have a glass blaster and a paint gun

I feel so inadequate. My Webers are black and chrome.
Time. I need time to heal from this.
