Now that you've spent the money and are standing guard at the mailbox, there's another way out.

Which . . . still makes use of the Heims and rod.


Set up a bracket with bell crank or a simple swinging arm near the front of the engine (or at least in front of the carb throttle arm), run the throttle cable to it.

Run a short rod with Heims back to the carburetor.

That way, the firewall seal is easy and you have a smooth, long turn to the bellcrank/arm.
