318 2 Barrel to FITech EFI Linkage

[JimKueneman]

Anyone have photos of how they may have converted a 318 to a linkage more like the FITech linkage? It may be more like a Holley or Edelbrock 4 barrel? The stock linkage/kick down pulled linkage from below the throttle shaft pivot point where as the FITech you pull the linkage from above the shaft pivot point. I bought the Holley Chrysler adapter linkage and it does seem to line up with a few holes in the linkage but it is not clear it helps any...

I used these two and got it to work but not on a 318.

Hope it helps

The only cars I have in the shop with the fitech on them are Chevy as the mopar was a customers car and it's down the road but I did text him and ask for some pics if he can.

I do know I just copied the same setup I had on a carbureted big block charger here in the shop that I put a Holley on. I can send a pic of that tomorrow because the fitech is almost identical to a Holley carb.

There are also a few guys on the a body forum that have put it on small blocks you can poke around over there.


If you are using the stock 2 barrel 318 lockdown you may be better off just going to a lokar setup.

I say this because 2 barrel kickdown is different and of course never offered in factory mopar form with a Holley 2 barrel carb

Yes I have that on several non original Mopars here. Works great but for my Mopars I prefer stock if I can.

and I used a new throttle cable too, I think the both parts were $60 I will have that car back in the garage before spring if you didn't figure it out by then I can take some pics..
