Please include Year, Make, Model etc.. when posting

For TBI it's two pieces, rod and link.  Although it is doubtful that you'll find a source for new parts, the part number of the rod is dependent on the year/model of the vehicle and engine.  The part number of the link is the same for all factory TBI (376197) of our vintage.  Plan on visiting your favorite salvage yard.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
