Your '72 type-2 came from the factory with twin carbs. They were a lot of trouble to keep adjusted.  After a few years and lots of miles they were next to impossible to deal with.  Some clever person came up with the single carb set-up. The kit came with a Holley/Weber two barrel carb original to the Ford Pinto, 4 chome runners and a alumimum plentum manifold for the carb to bolt to.  This kit ran very well on the type-4 engine you have. The throttle cable should be very to see and is connected to the carb body on the right side (pass. side) Have someone pat the accel. pedal and you will see the linkage move. If you have to pat  the pedal to get it to accel, the cable has to be there. You may have a carb problem if the engine balks,stutters,stalls. They get dirty also.
   This kit was the common cure for the twin carb and fuel injection  problem children.
