It has a slant 6 in it and he recently put a 1979 Carter 2 barrel carb on it to make it the "super 6" package. He has all the parts, but needs the top linkage that connects the carb to the turn buckle. Any ideas on where to find that piece?

There are three "linkage" attachments to the carb, the throttle cable, the choke rod, and the kickdown rod assembly. Perhaps you could narrow down your question to one of these.

My buddy told me, "the carb is linked to a C shaped linkage or bracket. On the lower side of that bracket there is a rod that goes down to the transmission. He needs the piece that goes from the C shaped linkage/bracket to the carb..it hooks the kickdown linkage to the carb." That's the way he described it to me. I wasn't standing over his set up when he described it so I'm sorry if it isn't the best description. Any help is appreciated!

As mentioned, look on eBay as used is the only game in town for the Super Six linkage.
