Manual choke anchor point?
As I mentioned in other posts, I acquired this truck in boxes, so it’s hard to find the details to put it back correctly. I am trying to figure out where the manual choke cable would have anchored. I changed to a 4 barrel manifold, using a 4100 style carb. I think to original 2barrel had the choke mechanism on the left side, but I am using a choke conversion set up (auto to manual), which would function and anchor on the right side. I need to figure an alternative anchor point, near as I can tell. Pics or any help would be appreciated.

I think it may have been for an accelerator cable, but I might be able to get it to work. Not ideal, but it might have to do unless I can find the other bracket that came with the conversion kit. Of course there’s always the option of buying another conversion kit, so I didn’t get the whole thing.

You could always make something like that. It could just be 1/8 flat stock bent at 90 degrees with a hole or two to attach to engine or manifold and a smaller piece like a 1/4-inch tubing clamp attached to the top of it with a nut and bolt! Not trying to oversimplify but just pointing you in a different direction than buying another kit.
