Tom my mistake its NOT the linkage rod assemb.from the fire wall.Its where the rod connects at the throttle shaft on the carb. 49"s connect above the throttle shaft thus push the throttle toward the rad. All other Mercs and ford carbs connect below the shaft.The firewall rod moves the same way for both but it depends where it connects to the throttle arm.Above or Below. Sorry for the mis info. Had to think about that for a minute. ken ct.
