There may have been linkage differences between manual and automatic type transmission applications but this is only speculation. The carbs have subtle differences between applications but I don't know all the possibilities. I'm more familiar with the 1951s. Those early automatics had to have the TV control assembly to control the transmission pressure.

Just at a quick look mine does not have those two holes. Just one . There are two further back in the linkage as can be seen in this picture.

The hole further back, is for the Positioning Gauge Tool 77230-MAA, that I am currently looking for:

I was looking for something else and, pure dumb luck, I found it, and bought it! This will clean up nice. It turned out to be a Snap-On tool.
