East Coast Chevy ( and others ) sell the correct rod that goes from the firewall rod to the carb. I'm using that replacement rod on a Holley with no trouble.

Thanks markm, but why would that be better even if it was not a ball joint?

here, perfect. ecklers, # 57-B4662-1. and i just saw steel bushings for my carb instead of rubber with a steel insert in it. hhmmm.
I had such good luck on my 55/56 with this stuff I ordered more to do a buddies 58 Apache with a tunnel ram and my dads Mustangs. Smooth operation and no sticking and much cheaper than stuff from Ace hardware.
I have settled on this for a while and it seems to be fine for the time being. Thanks to all who have chimed in! I feel like I have captured the essence of red neck art!

i have my return spring going back towards the firewall to a bracket, bolted to the manifold. it kinda hids it. and, just curios here, should`nt that rod go thru that gig hole somehow that`s right above where you have it attached?,,,,,,,,did ya check for WOT?
I'm not sure of which hole on the carburetor arm the linkage is supposed to be attached but the 1/4 rod fit better in the hole I'm using. I have checked for wot many times and it is adjusted perfectly. I might relocate the spring for aesthetic purposes. Thanks Dave!
