Possible wrong lower kick down rod for my 340/727

So I had my 68 Barracuda out for it's first ride in 40 years, not shifting correct no 3rd gear. I took a look at the kickdown rod set up that was included with all the parts when I bought it and it looks like the lower rod is to long. With it connected the lever on the trans is all the way back and when I disconnect all the other rods and pull the trans lever all the way forward it is about 3" too long. Take a look at what I have here and those of you who might know the length of the correct lower rod and if you have a picture of the set up please let me see it. This is a 68 Barracuda 340/727 console shift.
Thanks
Bob
