what part is missing? There were 3 rods:
carb to bellcrank
bellcrank to trans pivot
pivot to kickdown lever
all are readily available here from members. I believe I have a set if you need to know dimensions. 2 and 4 were different carb to bellcrank lengths. Id run a linkage far before I ran a cable.
It was the rod that connects to the throttle linkage on the carb (hope I described it correctly). As soon as I posted this, my nephew found the part and ordered it for me. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
