You are going to need to make or buy another bracket that the throttle pedal at the back of the carb for starters. Then it looks like you will need to put the ball end for the cable on that lower hole just below where the throttle attaches to the side of the carb.

Lokar sells all that stuff and usually at all venders booths at swap meets at the shows.

Here they are http://www.lokar.com/interior_pages/tc_kd.htm

Typically, the trans kickdown would connect to the carb linkage in the hole where you have the bar connecting your two carbs together and the carbs would connect using the large hole in the top of the bracket. It needs to connect in the bottom half of the bracket so the cable pulls when you press the loud pedal.

so what would you use to connect the two carbs together using the big holes at the top?

You will need to make another linkage or buy one likw you are using on the bottom. Then just do away with that threaded rod.

I would link the carbs where you're throttle cable is hooked now. Lokar set-up is very clean.

Edelbrock makes bushings that go in those holes. You can see them here in the lower left of this photo showing their dual quad linkage kit.
