Default Stromburg linkage ball

Has anybody had any experience using the Stromburg linkage bomb ends on the early 97's? Part number 9164-K and are sold by Stromburg and I see them at Summit also. Are the new Stromburg linkage balls slightly larger then the old 97's? If these ends wont work on the early Stromburg's then what end will. I want to make my own gas pedal rod and eliminate the annoying spring loaded rod that stretches when you step on the gas pedal.....Thanks

I built my stromberg ball ends up with weld and carefully filed them until they were a 1/4inch round.

These work perfectly for what you want to achieve.
Cut your own 3/16" rod to length and thread the ends 10-32 with a die. Eliminates the "mush" of the old rod and can also be used on the choke and/or hand throttle as well.

I just did exactly what Max explained on my ‘56 F100 and it works great. A nicely made piece and looks good.....
