Nice looking. I've got a couple with different mounting for the linkage, a couple of tabs on exhaust side for a rod maybe. Why the difference?

I've had a few with the linkage setup you've described. This one uses a cable/linkage pivot & cable holder bracket setup similar to the 850 valve cover, while the other style has a rotating bar similar to what's used the X1/9 valve cover. No idea why there were two designs, likely just different cable/linkage designs used on the cars (think 850-style throttle cable vs. 128-style direct pivoting-bar linkage).

Somewhere in my boxes of miscellaneous carb parts, I'm pretty sure I have one of the linkage setups for this type of valve cover, & if I can find it, it will be included in the sale.

58 versus 70 hp.
I have made the linkage set up for both by butchering stock valve covers...

I found part of a throttle linkage setup for this in my carb spare parts box, it's the main base plate that bolts to the valve cover and has the cable bracket on one end & the post for the linkage pivot piece in the center. Thought I might have that pivot piece as well, but all of the ones I have aren't correct. So here's what will also be included:
