Here is what I am dealing with. Did you get a chance to dig yours out?
Connected on the top but not on the bottom
Look toward the top and you can see the linkage is way upand dosn't reach
Mine rubs on the corner of the valve cover and is very stiff to move even when it's only hooked up on the top side, I can only image how tuff it would be if I could get it to reach the bottom!!
