h/w 5200 linkage ?

It doesn't look like Langdon's offers the new HW anymore. Their linkage is a real Rube Goldberg item.

If the DGV/Carter is progressive, and you have the Z-bar linkage, I'd suggest the you go with that instead of the 5200/DFV. It would be easier to connect with the Z-bar. Heck, I'd be tempted to go with it, even if it's not progressive. It is new for $85, and air cleaners are more available.
 
I put the Stovebolt HW 5200 along with the Clifford adapter on my 66 Mustang and made two simple adjustments to use the stock linkage. The first was to move the linkage ball on the carb to the other side of the linkage so it would work when the linkage rod pushed up instead of pulled down. The second was to remove the throttle rod (pretty easy - just a couple of screws on the firewall and remove the rod from the pedal) and bend it up to clear my headers. Works great! Looks and operates like stock including the tranny kickdown function.
 
I ordered a new H/W 5200 from Langdon's. I know their website doesn't show new ones available but I called and he had one (never hurts to call).
I went with the HW over the Carter Weber due to the knowledge base on this forum and the number of successful installations.
