Looking for a pic of an Edlebrock throttle linkage w/ kickdown

Just installed new Edelbrock Performer carb and intake on my 400. This is the first time I've started from scratch, I can't find anything to reference to see what it needs to look like.

Here's what I have:
Edelbrock 1406
Throttle Lever Adapter Ford 351M and 400 Edelbrock 1483 Edelbrock Carburetor Linkage Adapters, Studs & Cable Extensions
Throttle Cable Plate Ford 351M and 400 Edelbrock 1493 Edelbrock Carburetor Linkage Adapters, Studs & Cable Extensions

Does anyone have a picture with all of this hooked up. I attached the lever adapter per instructions, but the sping to the kickdown looks funny. I also don't know what to do with the cable plate. All of the instructions say I need it, but I'm not sure how it fits on there and there is no instruction.

Please advise! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the help, I figured it out. I made it harder than it was. The throttle cable plate just extends the kickdown rod.

Running Performer 400 intake, mitch. I have a mild cam, headers and with this upgrade, it rolls! I'm pretty sure it will take my Hemi in the 1/4. Or it would until it died on the test drive...Looks like my neutral saftey switch decided to give out, it died with a little smoke coming from under the dash. Towed it home to work on it another day. Starting a thread on it...

Not sure what make they are, Mitch. They were on it when I bought it. They are above the cross member, here's an old pic before it was cleaned up...


Here's a before and after of the engine, blurry phone pic from today...



the latest...



Still have some finish work to do on the ingnition wiring, now I'm waiting for Jegs to replace the carb, it was puking fuel from the linkage on the passenger side. Never ending...

What carb are you talkin about? All I see is a QuadraJet that was remanufactured by Jegs.
