Jag SU's on 240z - linkage issues

[CEgg11]

Hi all, 

its been a while since I've been on. The 240 is getting welded up, and so I've put stuff on the back burner for a while, but it will be back soon, so I am working on getting the engine ready to install. I've bought the "big" SU from a XKE I think. They bolt right up, but I dont know how I'll build a linkage that will open both carbs at the same time. Has anyone done this swap, and if so, how did you attack the issue?

Many thanks!

Curtis

I did the same sort of search, but no luck regarding the linkage. Time to put on the old engineering hat.

I have that set up, I will try and take a picture of the linkage I have.

I didn't see any 2 inch Jag carbs in those pics. Nice pics tho.

Curtis,

 

Mr. Nix is just up the way in SC. I say we road trip to visit him after the floodwaters have receded. I'd like to take a look at the linkage just out of curiosity.

 

What do you say, Steve? Do you allow miscreants into your garage?
