You could do it a few ways.
The simplest, easiest fix is to purchase & install the later-style ball jointed linkage pieces from a number of suppliers (Top End, korman, JAM Engineering, Ireland eng., Mesa, etc.)
If you want to take the opportunity to eliminate an inferior and potentially dangerous part of your car, consider converting to a cable linkage.
My '02 has a mechanical clutch linkage, and the pushrod going to the clutch lever travels right next to the lower throttle linkage; when they interfere it starts to get real interesting. If you were to have a catastrophic engine mount failure, a mechanical linkage coud stick.
Top end sells a kit for $99, pretty steep. If I weren't lazy I'd probably make my own setup.

: I'm running into a problem with the linkage on my 69 2002. The engine is out of a '74-76 and used the 2 barrel pidsi type carburator. I just put a Weber 32/36 on the car, but the linkage doesn't line up quite right, or pull the throttle to the max. open position when sing the pedal. I'm guessing someone else out there has run into this problem. Is there a linkage assembley I can buy? If so where? The current linkage is through a series of bars that leas up to a ball socket on the car.
