I see you DO like green!
Well now that my head's on better, I'll post a couple photo's of the linkage! I'm currently restoring my set of dual Carters and the bits and pieces as used on the Cobra. The setup was a little different than what you could buy over the counter from Ford Performance.
The linkage on the original below shows a shoulder bolt, thin hex head, connecting the primary throttle crank to the secondary throttle crank. Two different sets of holes on the crank can be used to adjust the rate the secondary opens.
Note the linkage and fuel fittings. Dual springs were also used, one on each throttle crank.




On the throttle plate bolt, I found that Chrysler used one either the same or similar on the Hemi dual quad. Took a while but I found one!

This is my restored linkage, ready to install once the carb restoration is finished.



Air cleaners, linkage, and choke are all rare parts now. I have five carburetors (3258S and 3259S) for parts to put everything back to original on two.
Air cleaners are already restored and properly plated. (Chrome tops, zinc screens and bases) More on those at a later date though!
