I was looking at the mechanism for my 67 Belvedere Convertible . . . and I think I might be able to offer you some help . . .

Here's one of your pictures that I tried to indicate how I think it needs to be hooked up . . .

The connection that you have to the cylinder - I think needs to move to the open hole on the back bracket.
On the cylinder is a bolt ( maybe one on both sides like my 67 has ) - it goes where you have the current connection.

Shown here on the your original picture.



The top of the cylinder is actually a pivot point to allow the top to rotate . . . the one extending out, does all the work.

Please move it slowly . . . I think there should be another bracket with the connection to the top of the cylinder ans it needs to pretty much stay stationary - it's just a pivot point.

Good luck . . .
