Topic: '66(San Jose) 289 A code throttle linkage setup

[socalgt]

Before I copy my previously owned '66 289 A code setup on my new car, I thought I'd post a picture and see if it appears to be as it left the factory.(linkage, return spring, bracket, etc.)  I've seen diagrams with the spring attached to the bend in the linkage rod, but it sure looks strange.

                                                                                Thanks for any thoughts

2nd pic is right except the return spring is incorrect.

[socalgt]

Thanks....I assume the spring bracket is also correct.

Thanks for any thoughts

Automatic or manual transmission?

Based on the fuel input to the carb, it's a 65 setup.

Correct, C5ZF-E on the carb and tag.

I have some examples (for 66) that look like the top picture - A code automatic examples

The following example is from 6R07A1590xx

[socalgt]

Automatic....looks just like your example.

Just for record:
-Accelerator pump assembly on that carb. is not correct for a 1966 Mustang (looks like early Autolite setup used in 1963?)
-Clip at the end of the accelerator pump rod is also wrong.

Good catch. can't see the number stamped on the base - guess it might have been a rebuilt carb picked up at a supplier (reason for the hardware differences

What would the correct one be?

like the bottom picture (appears to have been replaced during a rebuild)  on in the first post

As shown in the 1975 MPC, illustration Section 95, page 4, the clip is part number 375894-S (GG-215) and a drawing of the clip is in "Ford Standard and Utility Parts Catalog, January 1965", page 35 (Osborn Productions). That does not say it was a factory original item, but the clip existed prior to 1965 and was used as the service replacement in 1975. Until a Ford drawing, Ford bill of materials or other Ford documentation is produced to show another means of attachment, this clip would be the best choice.
It's the same clip.

Just an observation...the clip 375894-S clip in the photo is broken and only the retainer portion remains.

Yes appears that it was broken when installed. Interesting thing (well sort of) is that the picture is from a new - NOS carb so likely original though would not suggest anyone copy the "mistake"

OK, wait a second here, I just went through this accelerator linkage setup on my automatic trans 66 HiPo, and everyone was telling me my linkage was setup wrong previously. So there's a different linkage setup for and automatic verses a 4 speed? I originally had it setup similar to the the top picture on my C6ZF-F 4100 carb, but I just re-did it like the second picture with that bracket and it attaching to the linkage arm.

So what's correct for my application?

Oh, and it's a February 10th 1966 San Jose GT K-Code Automatic transmission car.

Thanks as always,

Jason
