So it looks like this linkage is using a cable between the throttle pedal and the linkage mounted on the intake manifold, although no where near original it would make the linkage easier to get from point “A” to point “C”.
I noticed that there is only one adjusting screw for the idle, you should have one on each bank of carburetors if for no other reason to use as a throttle stop when the engine is at idle. By not having that throttle stop the carburetors on that bank do not have a positive stop and therefore on returning to idle the linkage sort of floats (as will the idle on that bank) for lack of a better term whereas the side with the adjuster screw has a stop to rest on and cannot deviate lower than that stoped position. I know you are probably saying to yourself that I am nuts and that the “floating” can not happen but it does and it can affect the engines idle and can possibly create premature wear on the linkage rod ends on that bank.
