Default installed bbk throttle body and now the linkage is to short??

I put a bbk throttle body with adapter plate on a 98ss, and now the linkage is to short. What should I do about this? Is there an adjustment? Thanks

I could, but that would kill the flow. The throttle body is alot bigger than the intake. The adapter takes it from somthing like 60mm to 48mm smoothly.

Do you have ASR? I'm not sure how non-ASR cars work as far as adjusting the linkage goes, but I've done it on my ASR equipped SS. If you trace up the linkage, you come to a small plastic piece. You can kinda "unclip" it, and that will let you adjust the linkage a little. There isn't much movement there, but it might be enough to get you what you need.
