55 Olds throttle linkage

Does anyone out there have the adjustable throttle arm for a stock 4 barrel carburetor for my 55 Olds Super 88. It is the linkage arm that goes from the carburetor to the accelerator bell crank. Already have the carb to hydramatic linkage rod. Hope someone has one that they are willing to part with.

John (2blu442) probably has what you are looking for. You might try sending him a pm if he doesn't happen to see this. He is a great guy with very fair pricing.

I've got both a 1955 and 54 parts cars, but have already sold this rod from both cars to member here. Sorry.

Never thought I would have a problem finding a simple linkage rod

When they are 60 years old nothing is simple. Be sure you have posted this in the parts wanted section.

After a lot of frustration looking thru just about every box in my garage I found the throttle rod in an old box of keeper parts that were not going to be used. Just about as frustrating as looking for parts on line. But I am now looking for the stock coil clamp that has the mounting for the resistor. Another hard to find part, thanks for all the responses.
