There are two different throttle shafts.  Early carburetors, Marine, and Chevy trucks thru 1978 used the short shaft.  The 1975 and later hot air, electric, and CCC  carburetors used a longer shaft.

The linkage on the end of those shafts is different for different models, applications, etc......Cliff
