You will also need a cv style bracket to hold the carb to the heads, like this https://www.denniskirk.com/drag-spec...hoCSngQAvD_BwE

The exposed cable-to-housing length is about 3/4" longer on the pull side for the CV. You can cut down the housing of the original cables and make them work, but it's not worth the effort since the cables are already "relaxed" in the original position and are subject to bind when re-routed for the CV.
The linkage I'm refering too is just the part that holds the cables, it doesn't connect the the
CV gate or the butterfly directly, it mounts to the carb body. 2 screws, same location.

Maybe I'm getting senile wouldn't surprise me, but I can't picture what bracket you're referring to Ranger.
