    Posted: Feb/11/2020 at 12:52pm
Hey everyone, in the process of switching from the stock Carter 2 barrel bbd to the 350cfm 2 barrel holley street avenger I am in the need of the throttle linkage ball stud, but I dont know what size to buy between the 1/4 or the 5/16 ball stud...
which size comes equiped from factory for the OEM throttle cable? because the cable has never been changed. Or how can I measure the hole where the ball would enter inside the throttle cable in order to know?

I guess I'm the only one with calipers.
The answer is 1/4"

if i remember  there is a small arm on the backside of the linkage  that is where the ball will go  might have to lengthen the throttle arm

Seems to be spreading  over the years. On the job, my dial caliper always turned up missing. Solved the problem by using the vernier instead. Not many could read it.LOL
