Quarterwave Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hi everyone, Does anyone know the size of the ball fitting that the throttle linkage connects to on a 351W HO? I have an Edelbrock AVS 650 on my F150, and had to fabricate some parts to get all of the linkage aligned correctly. The ball that I have currently, fits tightly into the blue "cup" but just the other day, it popped out while reversing out of a shop. The cup doesn't have any hairline cracks in it and it did pop back on again and hasn't fallen off since. But, it shouldn't be doing that so I must be missing something and hopefully getting the factory ball size will be a start. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 The one on my 4180C measures .248", as does the one on the 7200VV. So, I'd say they are 1/4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 As always, thanks Gary! I know you have this all sorted out, but figured I'd mention this kit anyway... https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/carburetor_components/brackets_and_linkage/parts/20-2 I don't know what size mine is, but I bought this kit and one of them worked perfectly. Factory throttle cable snapped into placed tightly and hasn't moved since;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Late to the show, I know. We have the same carb, and when I bought mine (of dubious heritage) on eBay I needed the Edelbrock 8016 ball stud. So for anyone who finds this in the future, that's the part #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
