Stumped - 63 comet 302 Accelerator linkage

Anyone know of an easy solution for 63 Comet gas peddle linkage to Edelbrock carb on 302/347.
I must be overlooking the obvious or already produced solution.
I see lots of home made stuff or modified linkage and of course I could buy a Lokar product but would like something more original.

Re: 1963 S22 V8 347 engine/trans swap questions...

So my next question is what rear ratio rear gears do you guy have and are you happy with it. I have T5 trans and 347 with a cam rating 180...
