Thermoquad throttle and kickdown linkage

Thanks everyone for the advice. As a new mopar guy I'm finding the strangenesses pretty amusing..

I'm going to bend the bracket where the throttle cable clamps down and see where that gets me. The cable is long enough but the sleeve which is clamped by the bracket is too short. I think if I can find a way to clamp a little further back it will work.

I will try to use the original kickdown rod by inserting it from the driver's side in the bell crank and probably bending it. I have nothing to loose by messing it up so I might as well try to use it. I have the edelbrock kickdown rod lengthener.

Funny how just about every piece of the kickdown and throttle setup is inverted from the stock 2bbl setup which had the kickdown on the inside etc
