Does anyone have any detailed pictures of the throttle and choke linkages on a vaporizer? I have piles of parts but not 100% sure of what I’m looking for

On the home page of the MTFCA under the heading Resources there are drawings done by Martin Vowell on many Model T parts

The choke air valve is 6256. The wire from the front of the rad hooks to the top of the outer lever; the bottom of the inner lever is linked by another wire to a sleeve around the dashboard rod. A tiny split pin stops the sleeve's downward freedom so when the knob on the dash is pulled, it pulls the wire and closes the choke.
The throttle comes over the top of the engine from a bellcrank just below the bulkhead to the lever on the throttle shaft, 4134.

Thank you but I’m looking for the linkages that control the vaporizer from the steering column.

It takes a special arm that goes on you throttle rod at the steering col. Those are available at most of the vendors. You can make the cross rod from the correct size cold roll rod that is available at Home Depot, Rural King and hardware stores.

Thank you! I was looking for pictures only because my parts vaporizer had a very odd linkage on it that I now believe was part of someone’s stationary engine build and I was not sure if it belonged
