Honestly, I can’t see enough detail on your picture to see the details with the linkage design.
First of all, do you have the correct Chrysler adaptor for the carburetor on there?
If you are not using the correct adaptor, it will leave your throttle stud too close or too far away from center of butterfly’s, which will cause problems with kickdown and throttle travel.
You may have the correct adaptor on it – I just can’t tell by the picture. I do know the Chevy carb link hole will cause problems.
The upper kickdown arm appears to be for a 2 bbl, and not a 4 bbl. The 4 bbl one longer, sense the front butterfly is closer to front of engine.
If you have a bolt in the slot – that might work to make the arm longer – but the best fix is to get the correct arm/link.
Let me ask this.
What is the carbonator number do you have on engine now?
Did you use the Chrysler carb throttle adaptor?
Can you remove the air cleaner, then take a photo pointing straight down showing the linkage on carb to the upper bell crank, please?
Thank you,
BudW
