Throttle cable linkage

I have a '68 Dart with Holley double pumper, sketchy throttle cable and non-existent kick-down linkage thanks to the previous owner. I got a Lokar throttle cable kit, with kick-down cable, and cool bracket to mount on the side of the carburetor. This linkage on the side of the carb to mount the cables to doesn't look right to me though and I don't want to adjust my new cables to this length if it won't work so I need your help. Is this bracket correct? If I really wanted to I could make it all work but I don't want to run into problems with me not being able to fully engage my secondaries or worse, burn my transmission. If I do need a new bracket can you link me to it? I would like to order this up as soon as possible so that I can finally get my Dart back on the road
I know I saw a post for something similar to this recently and I couldn't find it today so I apologize for that in advance.
Thank you

apologies for the bad lighting, using flash in this case actually made the pictures come out worse.

How to set up a Holley 4 bbl for a Mopar

That's for the thru style cable take that off. You need a stud. Are you using the factory throttle cable? Or lokar for both?

This is a good video you can see clearly how it hooks up.
2bbl linkage to a 4bbl

I am not expert on this but..... The OP says he has Lokar cables for both. So the above links, while excellent, do not help him. OP, have you figured it out yet? That throttle bracket on the side of your carb is unfamiliar to me, but an I am not sure it is workable without an adpater bolted on the side for the downshift cable.

The upper 'boss' looks to be for a loose-ended throttle cable. I bet that can be unbolted with a small nut on the backside, and a pin like shown in above link put in its place for that 'sketchy' throttle cable. Or, for the Lokar throttle cable, a ball can be put there.

It is the bottom that is the issue; there is no 'tab' extending below the center of the primary throttle shaft to get adequate movement on the downshift cable. If the lower end was extended longer, then a ball for the trans cable can be bolted into one of the lower holes.

Below is a pix from my son's 'cuda with a Holley vacuum secondary carb with the Lokar stuff. You can see how far below the primary throttle shaft the downshift cable attached in our installation; that distance is necessary to generate adequate motion on the downshift cable.

BTW, I bet you will get better responses and expertise in the transmission subforum, and more search results.

Thank you to everyone who responded, I should have the linkage ordered tonight
