I recently changed to an edelbrock four bbl carburetor and have started sourcing the appropriate throttle bracket and cable. The only item missing is the rod that connects to the carburetor as show on the attached picture. My original one does not have the correct bends to align with the carburetor stud. Does engine know where I can find one? Thank you

You say you did a 2 to 4 bbl conversion. What is the picture of ?
If you did a 2 to a 4 the a/t kick down linkages will all be the wrong angle and lengths.
A cable conversion will e the best bet.
Show a picture of the whole setup with out the air cleaner so we can see what you have.
There are many different linkage rods.
What carb are converting from ?
The spring location doesn't make sense.

The previous picture is an internet example of the rod I am looking for. I changed from the Bendix Stromberg two barrel to a four barrel edelbrock. The pictures below are my actual engine. However since then I have installed the correct throttle bracket and cable.

Your linkages are not correct yet. Factory brackets do not align with aftermarket manifolds. What exactly are you working on. Partial information gets partially correct info.

Bouchillion makes a good aftermarket cable kickdown linkage. I've used it on 2 cars so far and works great.. .not cheap.
