I forget what that dashpot is for, there are a few different variants amongst the years. But I
think they're all related to raising the idle or fully closing the throttle plates at certain times.
The kickdown rod goes to your cab linkage and makes the tranny downshift when you floor
the accelerator. I haven't owned or worked on a vehicle with an automatic transmission
since, um, 1990, so I'm not gonna be much help other than to say there should be a little
stud on the carb linkage somewhere, the kickdown rod attaches to it and, IIRC, a C-clip
holds it in place.

No, Ford wouldn't put it out of the factory like that, with something installed but
disconnected.

My 1981 for instance had the Emission solenoid that controlled the Idle for A/C. It was designed to open the throttle plates when the compressor was engaged, so the idle would remain constant.
My truck was never equipped with A/C, so it was a redundant part that remained disconnected.
I speculate that the carb put on my truck at the factory was destined for the truck either ahead or behind it on the assymbly line.
I had to remove it because the smog techs here would have a hissy over it.
