Hi,
That '60-'62 bellhousing I used had no provisions for the original hand-operated starter linkage. Luckily, there was still a small amount of casting left in the locations that the linkage would have mounted on the original 216 bellhousing. Just enough for one bolt on each side.
Drilled and tapped bolt holes for the linkage in these locations. Made up a couple of brackets to strenghthen the linkage mounts since only two of the four holes could be used. Looks OK to me.
Had a stroke of luck in that I found a rebuilt starter that had sat on a shelf in my shop for 15 years or so, and installed it.
Will tackle the carb throttle linkages tomorrow.
Thanks, David
