I haven't been able to find concrete evidence as to which bracket was used on the post 71 small blocks. So bear with me here as I am relying on the manufacturer. BUT, IMO it comes down to what style of kickdown linkages are being used.
I have the second bracket which I think may be correct but the rod from the bracket to the carb I have is wrong. The 2bbl return spring bracket I tweaked and it works fine for now at least.
I'll snap some pictures of what I have.

I just switched from a 318 2 barrel to 340 thermoquad and the 318 linkage was the same. I will try to post a few pics tonight.

My 73 318 used the single bolt throttle return spring bracket. I thought the two bolt brackets were 74 only.
You must be working on an A-body with the two piece kickdown linkage. E-bodies used a single piece linkage.(E-body 340 linkage had a yellow paint mark on the carb end as seen in my picture above)

Just to clarify, the throttle linkage from the 318 was the same. The kickdown linkage was different on my swap.
