I got it pretty much figured out. I 180° the bell crank so now the carb opens up with the accelerator pedal. Im going to craft up an extension and switch the transmission cable (pictured) towards the distributor side of the engine and boom were off.

Frank - great info - I'm pretty sure my throttle - transmission cable shouldn't look like this after being fixed...so does anyone have a picture of what I should have? Drove it yesterday in D1 and it shifts to 2 at 5mph and 3 at 20mph...ugh. 1963 Rambler Classic 660 station wagon w/straight 6 single Carter. Thanks much!

Sent you an e-mail. The cable pushes in as the throttle opens. Just measure the length of the original arm from enter of pivot to center of hole where the cable attaches and either make an arm or find one on the carb very close to the same length. I've made arms by using a 3/8" wide piece of flat bar held to the shaft with a small u-bolt (3/16") made for cable. Drill arm for u-bolt, then clamp in a vice and twist the end 90 degrees. Works great!
