tri power question

hi guys, it's me again with another rediculous question. as most of you know by now, i'm building a "dream" from my past. and now i've added an addition to it. as usual there is a "slight" problem this old guy needs help with. i have bought tri-power for the beast and am looking forward to it breathing fire when the time comes. but before that happens, how does, or where does the auto kickdown rod hook up on this manifold? my manifold comes from a 4 speed car. i have a 65 F100 SWB currently in the paint shop. it will be a 390 w a C6 trans hook up with Dana 44 posi trac. hook to the earth with ford 8" steel wheels and lot'sa rubber on the ground

What's the Ford ID (casting) number on the manifold? There's more than one setup.

These Tri-Power setups were factory installed on 1962/63 390 Birds (M-Birds), HiPo Galaxies & Merc's (and others) with (1962/64) 406's and (63/68) 427's.

Also sold at the Ford parts counter.

Do all three of the carbs have their tags...if so, my recollection is theres a 4 digit code on 1st line and the 2nd line is also 4 characters
The top line should be something like C5AF and the lower line should be very similar to what you posted, just that I THINK theres 4 characters is all.
