Throttle linkage



 
Got a chance to work on the SX/4 last night and made some real progress.  The engine is ready to go in the car but I decided to add the Holley carb now.

I just need to figure out the linkage.  The real pain is the kickdown linkage requires that I use the stock mounting locations, otherwise I would use a mid 70's throttle cable plate and mount it to the intake manifold in place of the current throttle plate assembly.  I tried using threaded rod with carb pivot ends screwed on the ends but it still wants to pull it down instead of back.  I will need to fabricate a pivot plate that hooks to the rear carb mounting bolt or something to that effect.
 
I hope to have it running late Tuesday or Wednesday if all goes well.  The only serious impediment to that would be fabricating throttle linkage.  Any ideas?
