There should be 2 threaded locations on the block, which one to use depends on application. Move the stud to the proper hole and thats it.

I ended up having to shorten my gas pedal rod when I put in my 261 in my '50 truck, since it was a 62 block and neither pivot location corresponded to a 216. The easiest way is to go to the hardware store and get a little ball joint that you can thread onto the cut off end of the gas pedal rod. Just use a die to cut threads on the rod and spin the ball joint on to give you a bit of adjustability, and put the end of the ball joint through the bell crank. You may find that you need to bend the rod a bit so it doesn't bind. I had to take some of the bend out of mine so I used a vise to squeeze it flatter. Adjust it so the gas pedal is to the floor stop when the carb throttle is open all the way, and that should take care of it.

Got a welder? then just measure the distance difference between the old and new blocks, and cut out that much from the rod and weld back together. If you need to lengthen it, go to the hardware store, pick up some round bar stock, and splice it into the old linkage.
