I have SPF1593 with a small block Ford 351W based block. I also have an Inglese built 48IDA Weber induction system. On my carb/manifold setup, the linkage is a side pull system. The linkage passes between the two drivers side carbs and places the bell crank just over the inside edge of the valve cover. Does anybody have or know of someone that has this exact linkage setup ? I would like to know and see what other Superformance owners have done to the factory (OEM) linkage that runs parallel to the firewall along with the link that goes from the firewall linkage out to the bellcrank for the carbs. I seem to be having a linkage geometry problem which will only allow me to open the throttle plates half way. Any good information will be greatly appreciated. I'm so close to firing this thing up for the first time that I can't sleep. Besides I think my girlfriend is going to leave me because she has not seen me for two weeks!!

I think you need to talk to Inglese and see if they don't have another setup. Now mine is a 427 so its different for the small blocks. Tim Black has had the same problem I believe with his linkage opening up differently...its all in how you have the linkage running.
tommyboy, we had to replace Inglese's linkage system. We gave our best but we were not able to synchronize the carbs (throttle valves). Therefore we decided to design a new linkage system that is working perfectly !!! Hope this pictures might give you some ideas.
