[NoVa-Corvairs] Now I'm in a bind.

Literally.

My carb cross-shaft, accelator rod, and accelerator pivot are all replacement pieces I recently purchased.  When I hook all of them together, the entire mechanism binds up.  I unscrewed the bit on the accelerator rod that fits into the carb cross-shaft until it was at the very end of the rod, and this did nothing.

Is there a different accelerator rod for a '65 140?
