Here's a picture of what at first glance appears to me to be original linkage. it was a quick google image search for 1966 pontiac tri power. It's not too up close but int he future when you see setups, at least you'll have a better idea of what original more or less looked like.

I know AMES and Performance Years sells repro linkages, ebay usually sold a good little kit for about $100 with most of the pieces. Just mentioning some options!

The linkage as pictured in the attached photo of a '66 Tripower I recently restored, consists of the slotted rod, center carb lever, rear carb throttle lever, and misc. studs & bolts, along with written instructions. I manufacture the linkage and sell it for $50. If you have any questions, PM me.

Ok Mike and Dick both of your pics appear to use the throttle cable, which would indicate a gto, the big cars i've seen all have the solid rod coming from that hinge thing on the firewall, does this make sense? maybe just the auto tri powers for all size cars have the solid rod, i don't know, and allmost every tri power picture has a different bracket for the return spring. I think i'm starting to develop a idea of what it needs to look like, but if someone had a linkage photo of a bone stock auto big car tri power that was in the car, it would help. Still waiting on parts, i guess i could have sprung for air delivery but i'm too cheap.

If these help here are pics I found of a 63 and 64 gp autos (I know I know not 65) but it gives you a idea for full size cars, pics show the top rod has a plunger system? to give the play before the end carbs open up, bottom rod goes to kick down linkage (picture you show only has two rods but you said it was a auto car?) as for the linkage on the 66 2+2 thats all custom stuff I have the same junk/stuff on a 64 tri set I have.
