OMP linkage at throttle body - EFI

On an 84 GSL-SE:
I am having trouble assembling the OMP rod where it connects to the throttle body. Assembling it one way, the rod is pulled UP pretty far and it stops the throttle from opening. Assembling it another way, the throttle does not move the rod at all.

Does anybody have a close up picture of this connection?

Here is a picture of the OMP rod linkage - unassembled. Maybe it will help.

check at the omp that the linkage is all the way up there is a bend that can get stuck on the lever and keep the linkage from reaching as high as it should

^^^^ You hit that nail on the head!
The rod did drop down about 2" to a point where it curved, and became wedged there. Once I freed that, the parts fell into place.

Pu about 225 miles on it this weekend. One small problem discovered with a coolant hose leaking. Otherwise it runs well, less the aux. valve operation. I posted other report on thread titled 5/6 port operation.

Thanks ya'll!
