Thanks to this Forum and the wonderful folks here I now have the correct dash pot and correct bracket on its way to me.

Thank you all so much.

Corey:  It stands to reason that the dashpot and bracket should be the same for a 68 Holley, regardless of 350 or 500.  The relevant dimensions of the carb would be the same.  I looked through my pictures of original cars, but didn't find a shot that will help you.
Yes if you are referring to the non CJ carbs. Dashpot and bracket very different on them. As a side note many things changed when cj carbs came out. Different style metering blocks, throttle plates and linkage. I remember once talking to Jon Ernyart about a cj throttle shaft he send me for a 500. He said " there's only 5 people in the world that would even know they're different "
I told him I was worried about the other 3 😁

Right, Tim; non-CJ.  I learned well after Jon's passing about throttle shafts and base plate variations.
