Greetings,
I have a 56 desoto Firedome with a 330 hemi. Went from a 2bbl to a 4bbl, now looks like the linkage is reversed/not correct, any thoughts as to where to get the correct linkage for the 4bbbl?

Thanks in advance

What kind of 4-barrel? The factory linkage pushes the carb open from the bottom of the throttle lever; by "reversed" do you mean the carb only has provisions on the lever for pulling from the top?

Yes that’s what it looks like

You'll have to use your fabrication skills to modify the lever so it will accept push linkage. A simple plate that bolts to the existing lever and extends below the throttle shaft.
