Carb linkage

I have a 61 F100 with the 223 6cylinder. The linkage is not allowing the throttle to fully open. I looked and the linkage has the long arm and as the pedal is pushed it lifts the throttle up and then pulls away as it pulls up. There is another hole for the linkage to go in but then the arm is too long. Anyone have better pictures than the manual does or even have a shorter linkage they want to get rid of or even swap? Also how do you upload a picture on here. I don't see anything for an attachment or add a pic link?
thanks

If it has just started doing this, it might be the rear engine mounts have gotten soft and settled letting the engine tilt a little.

1961/64 F100/600 223/262 I-6.

There are four round donut shaped rear engine mount rubber insulators.

Per side: One donut (C1TT-6A061-A) below crossmember, One donut (C3TZ-6068-D) above crossmember below 'ear' of bellhousing.

Carpenter has both these donuts.

Thanks for the info but I think it is more of a linkage issue than the mounts. Part of the linkage mounts on the intake and that is where the issue is. I need that part so I can mount it in the hole closer to the carb so the geometry is more in line so it will open the throttle the way.
