Linkage, fuel line and jet choices for holley 2300

[66Sprint6]

Well, all thats left is to hook up the carb and get the linkage, fuel line and jets right. Anyone recomend the best ways about doin the linkage??? I think I can do the fuel line myself. Mustanggeezer, howd you insulate it all??? Most importantly, what jets should I run. I dont have a dyno that I can redily use right now so I just want to get it running enough to get around till I can get to one. Also, if I go to a dyno to tune, should I bring my own jets etc. What all should I bring, and what size jets etc. This will be a first time experience for me, so please give as much info as possible.

I used a throttle cable and pedal from 78 Granada, easy swap. As for jets read your spark plugs. I use 52s in my small Holley 2bbl, it's about 280 cfm. Russell

So I have to replace the pedal to run cable?? Hmmmm. I am running a Holley 350 so what should I do about jets for it? I might try Mustang Geezer's linkage extension. I want a cable set up eventually, but oh well. Where would I get a cable pedal other than junkyard?

I used a piece of conduit to lengthen the accelerator rod so I could hook it up to mine. Like Russell said, convert it to a cable linkage if you can!

I got a pedal from a 86 Mustang (off ebay) that I'm going to hook up to mine with a new throttle cable. The setup like I have now works, but the cable setup looks like its a whole liot easier to adjust and should feel a lot smoother.

As far as jets go, your just going to have to read your plugs to see if its running rich or lean.

Go to a salvage yard and get everything off a 78 or 79 Fairmont...
Pedal, cable, stops, hardware... should not cost you more than 15 dollars or so...
most of it bolts in, you have to drill a couple of holes in the firewall...
and I had to shorten my pedal a little and re-drill the bracket to mount a Mustang pedal, but the setup worked great and the cable linkage is much smoother and has a better response than the stock linkage....

You can search a few posts for Cable throttle and turn up some of the adventures and pics of the setup I made... also if you want an easier setup, but a little more costly you can get a Lokar pedal setup from Summit it bolts to the floor and does basically the same thing, but it does not look stock... and is a little costly in my opinion.

Cheers!
