Hydramatic linkage questions

Alright, I have a 52 Hornet with a 2-barrel setup on a 308 and a hydramatic. The engine and transmission came from another car, another 52, and I bought it mid-swap so-to-speak. They're in, but I gotta connect the dots. I have the shift selector linkage for the transmission, but I seem to be missing the throttle linkage.



What am I looking for here? I don't really want to have to chase parts, I got know-how and materials to make my own, I just need dimensions and a picture would be nice. Also, I have a Twin-H setup I plan to install sometime down the road, poking around on the forum here, I gather the throttle levers are different between the single 2-barrel and Twin-H setups. How different? So I know how to modify the the 2-barrel lever if need be. I'll worry about adjustment when the car is nearer to driving.



But if anyone has these and are willing to part with them, let me know.



Thanks

    I have a '52 Hudson Hornet with single range hydramatic drive that was originally a 2-barrel car that I switched to Twin-H with all linkage, but the linkage is totally different from 2-barrel to Twin H, but it is the same from the bell crank down to the transmision.



    In regards to the linkage, are you looking for the throttle kick down lever to the transmission? I can get you dimensions by Thursday.



    If you are interested, let me know. Or any questions, call me at 262-662-9595.

    Yeah, i have the Twin-H linkage, just need the dimensions of the linkage down to the tranny. And to know if the actual lever on the transmission is different between the two carb setups. My transmission is a dual range unit if that makes a differance, forgot to specify that last night. If you could get me dimensions by thursday, that would be awsome. Much appreciated!

    One other thing, I need the length (and picture if possible) of the accelerator pedal link. I thought is was in the trunk with the Twin H items, but it's not. So, Gary or anyone else with that handy, it would be much appreciated.

    Sorry I didn't get back to you on Thursday. It would be easier to explain over the phone. You can call me @ 262-662-9595. I can give you this info now, but would prefer if we could talk on the phone.



    Transmission throttle linkage rod is 23" long and is 1/4" in diameter with pin clevis on one end and threaded end is 2' long and fine threads and the bell crank is different for Twin-H set up.



    Talk to you soon!!
