Super Six Auto kickdown needed

Greetings,
I put the super 6 linkage on my narrow body ('64 Valiant Convertible) and there wasn't much room left for the exhaust pipe.

What I did to cure the problem was to purchase a random V-8 kick down bar, heat and straighten all the bends, and then re-bend it to mimic the super 6 bar while being narrower to hug the tranny and engine block allowing more space for the exhaust.

Just an option...
