Sharpie,what style linkage do you have? Is is aftermarket(lokar),1 piece factory non-adjustable or the 3 piece factory adjustable style. If its the three piece style there should be a hole in the pivot bracket and the pivot lever(bellcrank?)at the rear of the manifold.Disconnect the kickdown rod from the carb,line up the holes in the bracket/lever( use a drill bit or whatever fits)Then adjust the kick down to hook back up with the carb.If its too short adjust the other sections as needed to compensate. This should get you in the ballpark,D.
