I used the end from this #21236 hose for an 8BA to ‘32 radiator. The pic is old so prices from O’reilly’s may have gone up.

Godspeed Ron. Thank you for sharing your vast experience, knowledge, wit and unassuming personality. Your posts here on the Barn will continue to teach and inspire others long after your physical presence.

Here’s one I made quite a few years ago. It’s not the prettiest and the plate the bolts pass through could be a bit wider so the holes would be not so close to the edge but it was materials I had on hand at the time. Works great and withstood me beating pistons out of the old block after all...

Ziggster, thank you for sharing the video. RIP Jim.

Email has been sent. This sounds like an incredible opportunity. Thank you for making such a selfless offer to pass on your knowledge and years of experience. Joe

You mention all the great folks who are willing to share their time and knowledge. It seems you are among the top of the list. Prayers for your recovery.

Are these what you need? They are listed on EBay by Third Gen. Or contact them directly. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-1939-Ford-choke-and-throttle-rod-linkages-original-type-91A-9700-/401538780031?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
