Trash all of it and go with the Lokar cable system. Its too easy and gets rid of all of that stuff.

besides needing the edelebrock adapter what linkage do i need for this
Tough crowd. Good thing you're not asking about your dog...they would be telling you to take it out back and shoot it in the head. 
Looks like all you need is the stud that bolts onto the carb linkage. I have the same setup on my truck and it runs fine.

I would take the factory linkage over the crappy Lokar any day!
I have a Lokar cable in my swap meet bucket I took off my Ramcharger. Not able to locate a factory linkage I went with the BPE throttle plate and factory type cable for the 518 trans swap.

 here it is on a tall rpm intake. I did riase the throttle cable clamp so the cable was level with the stud since this pic.(and they said stock linkage wont work on the RPM intake...) stock 78-440 truck 3-piece linkage  just swaped a 3-piece set up over to the 85 318/727 replacing the 1 piece set up. it is off a mid 80s SB 4-v dippy. much more adjustability with the 3 piece. if you need the tall intake bracket for the B-engine,AREngineering has them.

Dutch looked like a cute guy. Having a throttle bracket from a cruise control vehicle can help with the hi-rise intake.

not to hijack this thread but....what type of replacement cable does that factory setup use? I have one for a Dodge van and the thing is about 6 feet long. I need to get this figured out so I can install my a518.
91 Dodge van is what I used when I built my 1st one from scratch
The Bouchillion kit uses the same cable it looks like
I compared them when I got my 1st Bouchillion

Yes, they just add their own prefix to the BPE part number.

Exactly as I am using a spacer too and it is good to go. Glad it worked out for you. I did; however install a longer linkage adjustment piece that allowed me to dial in the up and kickdown shift points.
where did you get the longer adjustment piece?

yep,looks like I will be going with that bracket to ditch the hoky cruz control clamp I am using. close but cant get 100% full throttle with it.
where did you get the extention and would you post a pic of it on your carb/intake?

I bought it off of EBAY I think the seller's handle was torqueflite patty. I looked on EBAY last night but couldn't find it but I'll look again. I'll run out and take a pix of my setup and post it this AM

I used the previous Edelbrock adjuster years ago when I swapped to a taller manifold. They just screw on to end of your adjustment rod then the adjuster screws on to it.
BTW, Summit Racing has both sizes in stock 1/4" and the 5/16" for $7.95
