Accelerator/spark rods?

Who has the best quality control rods available? Is the correct length of accelerator rod 10 1/2?

Thanks

This is another one of those times when 'my research' counters what is printed in the "Standards". :o Choose whatever length you feel is correct for your vehicle. ;)

Re: Accelerator/spark rods?

I just received the set of three rods from the only supplier that had them in stock. All worked but I had to enlarge the hole on the spark rod where it connects to the distributor and bend it at an angle to get it to stay on. The rod to the carb. was a little too long so I bent the arm where it connects to the pedal assy.
