    Strange problem. I'm adding FI to my 455 and I'm setting up the throttle linkage.

    I need to make the connection, so no big deal I think, I'll just pull the ball off of the old carb.

    I have two quadrajet carbs. And the ball for the ball and socket joint is of a different size on both! The one I need is riveted to the linkage, the other that I used was bolted on and is too big. So I need to order one, or get a new cable, or something. Any thoughts? Any idea on what sizes were used? They look identical, but they isn't.

    Check out Holley pt # 20-2 throttle ball assortment. Maybe you can use one of those?
