Need help carb upgrade

Going from an autolite 1100 to a 2 barrel weber dgev. Have most of it figured out but can't figure out how to get the linkage to work out. If any one has done this, could you take a pic of your linkage please. It is on a 65 with a 200 engine. Browsed the web and weber sights but can't seem to find a solution. It is stock throttle bar, with the shaft with a clip over the ball on each end. Do not see an adapter that would work with this setup. Thanks for looking and the help!!

Pictures please. I have always used an throttle cable or a universal rod set up.

I used a Lokar cable with a Granada pedal. Had to fabricate a spacer to get the pedal off the fire wall though. Lokar also makes a 65-66 pedal but it's kind of expensive. I do plan to switch over though.
I have a '66 200 with the weber conversion. I have a C4 so I had to get the kickdown cable from Lokar too.
No pics on my phone but I could probably add some later

^ This is the thing to do, and what I would have done for Muskrat had I gone that direction. Cable will beat linkage every day for this type of thing. You can, if you want, even modify your current accelerator pedal to make this work, only takes a dremel or such and some well placed holes and screws and whatever.
