I am not familiar with the Edelbrock style carbs. Like John said there is an adaptor for the Holley carbs, so there might be one for an Eddy. When I did my carb swap, I was able to use the factory kickdown rod. They bend easily, so I just tweaked it to work with my new carb. No adapter needed. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |
