DLOTZ, the linkage photos seen on this thread are of the FE dual quad setup. As you should have noticed, the carbs are arranged in reversed position in order to clear the distributor cap. The small block dual quad setup runs the carbs in the normal primary bores forward position. The small block linkage consists of straight rods and does not use a bell crank-pivot assembly as does the FE. You cannot use the straight rod linkage on a carb reversed setup.

eBay usually has a FE linkage setup offered for sale as well as trunnions and a fuel log. You will need to purchase a couple of trunnions that are not included with the FE kit. Other than eBay, Obsolete Ford Parts is a good source for these kits and the trunnions. There are two setups offered, one for the low-riser manifold and one for the medium/high riser intake.
