Anyone got a pic of a stock B block 4 barrel linkage?

Anyone got a picture showing a correctly installed 4 barrel stock carb on a 383 so I can tell how much stuff is missing from the setup on the wagon. Didn't think to check but I assume its a Carter.

Alistair, here's my Edel 750 (Carter clone) on my 440 with stock linkage for an auto trans

Except the return spring should be hooked this side of the kickdown lever same as the kickdown spring.

Some (later) Kickdown systems use single solid Rods; my Challenger has currently been modified that way, though I have the parts to return it to the "Bellcrank" style.

Actually Dave, I think the correct position for the throttle return spring is hooked over the stud, trapped between the tangs of the thingy on the end of the throttle cable. Excuse my technical terminology. My spring is a bit strong, so I have it a bit further forward for a softer feel

Ah! I stand corrected Mr Ford!

I just remembered that about 15 years ago I lost the circlip? So for a temp fix I put the return spring where the clip should be with a washer between the spring and the kickdown.

I seem to have forgotten it was meant as a temp fix.

thanks guys I think I might have a couple of bits missing, but at least I should be able to identify them now.

Hope this helps, just a more general shot. This is with Edel 800 fitted (also Carter based?)
