When you are checking it out, you can separate the two and let them drop down at simulated WOT. You will see which way their might be a problem.

Sorry, Bill, but the way he has the linkage set up is the correct way. The female plunger will not hang up if uncoupled if it is on the rear carb.

Yes, this is the mechanical linkage kit released in 1964 to satisfy the many Tri-Power owners upset at how badly the vacuum linkage performed, especially during a drag race (or acceleration trial)!
