340 4 barrel automatic kickdown lever/rod

JUST BEND THE DAMNED ROD!!!! You are going to trash it if you buy something anyway, so put the thing in a vice, bend slowly, take your time, and make it the shape that you need. When I have used 318 rods in the past the first thing I did was reverse the existing bend so that the rod arches up not down with the end inserted from the outside (fender side), then bend the adjustable end of the rod an inch or so behind the threads to make it perpendicular to the shaft you are mounting to. There should be enough adjustment in the extension and the original adjustment threads to have it adjust the kickdown properly. The pivots are not at all a rigid fit so there's slop in all of them.
