What throttle cable do you have now? I believe original may have been a rod & lever arm mounted to the firewall???
The manual transmission throttle linkage is much simpler than the automatic version.

Yes but... the 4bbl carb, intake manif and distributor were changed by Ford each year in '55, '56, '57+... maybe even the throttle linkage and air cleaners too.
The 4bbl setups from '55, '56 & '57+ should be installed as a year matched set, not mix & match. The carb vacuum pressure & plumbing to the distributor isn't the same until '57 and newer.
The '57+ versions are generally preferred due to the 'new' mechanical timing advance design of the distributors and more modern style (not teapot) carburetors with the larger bolt pattern.
