Need some advice on a 273 4bbl Throttle linkages

This is the craptastic set up that was on my Dart up until Sunday.



I was leaving for a show and when I went to set the choke, something went pop!!! I had noticed the kickdown linkage was binding a little because it wouldn't shift as it should. You can see where the accelerator cable is frayed. There were five strands left!!

Long story short, it's all being replaced with a Lokar set up. I bought a new accelerator cable and kickdown cable, as well as new brackets and return springs. I just bought the black nylon housing because the stainless steel is too flashy for me. The above picture is an example of how NOT to rig up your kickdown linkage!!!
