As Jeff had stated the throttle linkage goes from the throttle pedal pivot mounted on the drivers foot box to the bell crank tower mounted on the rear of the drivers side cylinder head and then from the bell crank to the center pivot shaft mounted on the intake manifold. There were two different designs of linkage used on early opposed intake manifolds both used the center pivot shaft that was mounted in the center of the manifold and ran 1/2 the length of the intake manifold from front to back between two rod end bearings. The early setup used a linkage that ran from the center pivot to the rear or the left bank carb and then another linkage that ran from the rear left bank carb to the rear right bank carb, the front and rear carbs of both banks were coupled together with adjustable couplers. The later opposed linkage used linkages that connected to the center couplers inbetween the front and rear carbs on both banks.
