Carburetor Linkage

I have a 77 f150 with a Carter AFB. Well I took the carb off to clean it and when i put it back in I forgot how the linkage went.

I was wondering if anyone has a picture of the driver side linkage for this carb.

Thanks for the help.

Quick update and another question.

I figured out that I have no idea what to connect the metering rod and return spring to.

Any help would be appreciated.

On my Carter AFB the linkage usually flips down when I take it off. Try checking the linkage to see if it will flip down towards the rear of the truck and and back up towards the front. Confusing to describe. Metering rods go inside the carburetor and drop through the jets. I don't think you are talking about a metering rod. The accelerator linkage should be a plastic housed snap that goes on the ball shaped linkage pivot.
