I think you can use Dr.Rebuild's part No. 3752338 for 71-72 454's without any problem.

If I'm thinking of the corrrect part....

I had to make one about 10 or 15 years ago. If I remember correctly, I used a coat hanger and drilled little-bitty holes in ends to install little-bitty cotter pins. Does that sound like the part you're looking for?

Try forum member paulywannafly. He's in Montgomery N.Y. if that's anywhere near you. He has a very extensive stockpile of parts.

I have a lot of 4MV linkage here.
Is it #35 in the pic?
If not, which part is it.
The pic is for the early 4MV so they may not look identical to what you need.

Let me know what you need and if I have one it's yours.

Rather than look a Corvette part look for a Camaro part. I was at Ecklers looking for one and the guy said, "nope". Then we chacked their Camaro catalog and it was listed.

At one point Lars said to check with Yearone.

A better source is Classic Industries Camaro parts. Look in their Camaro catalog. They have the coils, attach screw and the coil covers. You have to make the rod.
