That looks like a motorcraft... Holley for me required a stud kit to hook up on my 73.

Should be able to come up with something similar for the Holley, just need to find the stud that attaches to the throttle arm.

Yep, a Mr Gasket or Holley stud kit was what I purchased to get the throttle cable installed. The linkage pretty much connected on its own with the Holley. I think Holley knew better for TF tranny compatibility.

Here are some pics with the Holley efi on R4b and also a Holley DP on Torker. They mount the same.   I just used a 1/4-20 x about 1" in the lowest hole on the linkage. Then have washers and the plastic guide. Works well but I heard the Lokar is better

No problem. Let me know if you need anything else. I know if not adjusted correctly you can damage the trans.   Good luck.
