I have a 1975, CJ 5, with a 258 inline 6. The throttle has a stock (I believe) sheaved cable that runs from an arm from above the throttle pedal, through the fire wall, does sweeping 90 degree turn and Connects to the carb (probably not stock) linkage. The carb linkage is on the side near the firewall and moves right to left (parallel to the firewall). The Jeep also has a manual choke on the opposite side of the carb that moves in the same direction as the throttle.
My question is if different carbs, that I can use, might have the linkage mounted so the action is forward and reverse? Or can this carb be turned 90 degrees? I thought this might clean up the engines appearance if the cables are not strung all around the engine. I would like to fabricate a mechanical linkage if it's feasible.
I will attach some pixs to this post if that would help members advise me. Thanks.......
