Luke,
I'm at home now after a long day in the field so I've had a look at both of
the 180B rods (single & t/carbs) for you and they are the same length; ~8"
long but the angle of the ball connector for the firewall xrod is indeed
different. if you hold the rod away from you with the hook pointing straight
at the ground the angle of the bar with the ball on the single carb one is
all but 90 degrees but the twin carb rod the ball is only around about 30
degrees. I couldn't find a protractor around here to measure this accurately
but hopefully I'm close enough. I've fitted 180B SSS engines to both my
Stanzas and I didn't have any problem with the Hitachis, just bolted them in
so even a Series 1 Bluebird might do it for you as they have much the same
setup as the Stanza, but the Bluebird cable may be a bit longer and suite
the 180B better.
For info, the rod across the firewall on a 180B is 2" longer than on a 1600
and the second mounting point for the longer rod was on most 1600's up until
sometime in the '71 model in Australia.

I think Terry has it right as usual. I was hoping someone like him would
confirm it. The SSS hook at the end of the rod between the firewall and the
inlet manifold is about 90 degrees different and I thing its length is
shorter. Basically cut the standard 180B one in the middle, shorten to right
length and weld it together again with the hook at the right angle, so the
carbs fully open when the pedal is pushed to the floor.
