Roger, how can we tell if you would properly capitalize the beginnings of sentences and names? You are frustrating the grammar police by using all caps.

Roger,
The 32pbi/pbic linkage is still shown on the NLA website but I am sure their stock = Stoddard's stock. But if you want to look at a picture of what they have been selling you can search their site.
Part No: NLA 08 102 SET Price: $171.13

Alan is right.. the first two hits I get are:
https://www.nlaparts.com/store/throttle ... 17611.html https://www.aasesales.com/products/nolo ... 68d-107351 Both of these look like the same linkage from the same supplier. If you are still having issues with some items there is plenty of help available.

Roger,

There are two versions of the throttle linkage, the one that I and Rick have shown is for Normals using 32 carbs through '55. There is also a version for all Supers using 40 carbs and for Normals using 32 carbs in '56 and '57. This later version is, I believe, for Normal engines using the taller intake manifolds with the cast-in balance tube connections while the earlier version is for Normals with the shorter intake manifolds with a bolt-on balance tube connection. You might want to verify which intake manifolds are on your engine to assure you get a linkage that will work on your engine.

The later linkage has also been reproduced and is also shown on the NLA site:

THANKS HARLAN

I'LL CHECK OUT THAT POSSIBLE SOURCE.

ROGER

The 40mm linkage is a bit more involved with a main difference of an offset to accommodate the larger carburetors. At first glance I was unsure how the original 40mm linkage was made however upon a close examination concentric nested tubing was used for the main length.
Looks like the Wolfsburg West linkage is essentially the same price. There is probably one manufacturer selling to several vendors... For the time to make the part and have the linkage plated $170 seems to be a reasonable cost.

HARLAN

THANKS FOR THE LEAD. ILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON IT

YOUR PAL, ROGER

I have a bunch of original linkages if you are interested. Both versions.

Roger; spray some WD-40 on your "caps lock" button.
It seems to be stuck.
