I don't know about the linkage but think twice about laying down that kind of cash for an LMC carb. Have you thought about rebuilding it? If not, why not?.. it's really simple.

i thought about a rebuild but I don't think that will help. the problem I am having is that its getting really crappy gas mileage. I think it might be because of the manual choke. it idles real high even at its lowest setting. if I put it all the way in it runs real bad. just thought if I got away with the manual choke I could get better gas mileage. thanks for the input

that could be idle adjustment or air/fuel mixture. or any # of internal carb parts.
try rebuilding. I have a 300 with a single barrel Carter YFA manual choke getting 19-21MPG.
Mileage was crap before rebuild.
