The setup is compounded by the 10degree canted mount. The levers won't clear the manifold bolts so they have to go on top. I wasn't real wild about the linkage in a "push" style but when I got all done, it is very smooth with no glitches.
I really feel sorry for the guy who put 48's on a canted manifold FE for the first time. I can't imagine doing it without the internet.
