carb question

The engine has 59K on it. no knocks or rattles. Im working with this carb because its what I have.... Im working on the money for a 600 cfm, but for now the 450 is what I have..... the question is what will I have to do to get the throttle linkage to work. or any other suggestions as well. it is an automatic/c4 it seems to be backwards from what I have. its of an old chevy does that make a difference?

Thanks, so do you happen to know if it will bolt up directly to the manifold or will I have to buy a adapter plate.... Im assuming it will need an adapter plate sense the intake is a standard square bore insted of a spread bore. any other tips or tricks you can give me on that you all have learned over the years....

If the carb will sit flat on the intake, and if you can open the throttle plates you should be fine without a spacer. Physical operation will make that choice for you.
If you can't the rod to fit on the carb, you may be able to snag/fabricate a throttle cable off of any older 60's/70's car that is still in the junk yard.
I can't see exactly what you're working with from here....
