Throttle linkage

I have a 69 gmc c1500 and the factory throttle linkage does not hook up to the edelbrock carb I put on. Has anybody had the same issue and found a good linkage to replace a factory one?

I have a holley not an edelbrock so the return spring setup is different but you can use either the Edelbrock linkage or a Mr Gasket one like I have if you get the correct bracket for the throttle return that fits your carb. The Mr Gasket kit includes a rod threaded on both ends, the ball joint and a adapter to attach the ball to the carb and the clevis, clevis pin and cotter pin will attach it to the stock pedal. A separate bracket is needed for the throttle return spring.
