it's actually a perfect reproduction of what the factory used, and fits perfectly on my truck and a couple others I've put it on - make sure you have the vertical piece with the offset on the right side and try both directions of inserting the threaded rod into it .... as I said above, if it can't be arranged to fit your application well, it's your setup that's the problem, not the linkage - it could be you have a much wider carb than anything it was intended for
