280 Z/ZX throttle linkage compatibility?

Recommended Posts

Title pretty much says it all. I have a 78 and I need some of the linkage pieces. I already have the piece on the manifold that spans the two towers and I have the gas pedal and attached rod. So, I need the "j-hook" piece, the two bell cranks on the firewall and the linkage between them.

 

Does anyone know if the pieces I still need would work if they are from a ZX?

 

thanks

I threw an L28ET from an '83 280zx into my car and the intake manifold had the linkage piece on it but I didn't have anything else. I used the stock linkage on my car up to the part that hooks onto the manifold piece and it worked great aside from working backwards. The gas pedal sank and I had to pull it up toward me to open the throttle. Flipping the hooked part 180* (upside-down from normal) made it work fine.
