Throttle linkage, kickdown questions

Ok got the Eddy 1481 adapter for dads carb(eddy 1405) and it made a difference. I dunno if it is correct or not, but looks like it. although the kickdown looks like it engages at idle.....there is 2 adjustments that can be set later. Hope these pics help someone. By the way engine is stock 273 4bbl with 904 and Eddy 1405 carb and 1481 adapter.
