Series 4 w/ Holley & OMP

I've had my Holley carburetor for about 5 years now and have never hooked up the OMP because I wanted to keep it simple by pre-mixing. I'm always trying new things and have decided to hook up the OMP. I have one problem though, I didn't buy the whole kit from Racing Beat and I do not have the linkage that goes from the OMP to the carb and if there is a special lever on the carb, I'm missing that too. Beforehand I took a stock OMP rod yesterday and wasted 2 hours modifying it to go to a lever that I do have on my carb. Reason I say waste is because after completion I tested my design and noticed that the assumed OMP lever for the carb didn't move the OMP lever any. So here is where my question comes in, do any of you Holley powered series 4 engine guys have your OMP hooked up and if so could you take a picture of the linkage where it connects to the carb. Any help would be great since this would help me figure out what I'm missing. Here is a picture of the OEM S4 OMP rod I modded to the assumed carb lever.

Well I searched and found an obvious problem, the lever on my carb that I assumed is for the OMP is just that. I just have it upside down, what a dummy lol.

yeah that was a moment for me. I had borrowed an OMP linkage from IH8DSM whom actually bought the whole kit and that's when I noticed my wrong doing.
