Stromburg linkage ball

[Sid]

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
