Default Re: 34 pickup Correct throttle knob?

Back in the day, Ford swaged the short length which had the knob on the end to the long rod into the engine bay. Attached is a clip of one of the Ford Engineering Drawings for 1935 car rods. Other than the length and end point and angle of the rods, they were all about the same shape, a smooth bend from the fire wall to the carb.

Lawson has the right answer for how to best connect the two parts - just like Ford did.
