    Short throw adjustment on Muncie

    Both my 68 and 67 have long throws when shifting and I'd like to look into moving the linkage down to the 2nd set of holes to shorten it up.

    Tripower adjustment

    So if I have my wife push the gas pedal all the way down and I observe the linkage, should I be able to manually open the linkage any further?? I'm trying to determine if I'm getting wide open throttle from the pedal. Thanks Jim
