Zenith carb linkage

Hi All! I'm in the process of putting a 71T together. I bought it in boxes so I stumble upon having the wrong parts all the time.

Putting on the intake manifolds, the brackets for the lever that goes between the manifolds is not lining up.

The manifolds got the same number but the left is setup with the additional bracket in the front.

Do I have the wrong brackets? I suppose the lever between the manifolds should be parallell?

Can anyone give some input, images and if there are different brackets.

Thanks,
Jörgen Forssling

Looks just like mine, think you are fine. Linkage does not run perpendicular.

The angle of the linkage is dictated by cylinder offset,make sure you check/replace linkage ball cups,most of mine were rather worn on my motor,it makes a real difference when setting up carbs.
