If anyone has a 4bbl kickdown bracket for the 3 piece linkage, I sure could use some measurements so I can modify a 2bbl one I have. I am using it for my 318 ramcharger that I just swapped engines and a stock 4bbl spreadbore Intake. I'm having a difficult time getting the throttle cable to work right. I'll need it from the points A and B in the picture.
Thank you!

so is it the throttle cable you are having trouble with or the kick down rod?

Paul, here ya go. A=4 1/2 inch B=4inch I measured from the outside edge by hooking the tape on the outside edge of the stud. Kim

Thanks Kim! That's what I needed!
I tried using the trucks single piece KD set up with no luck, so I went to the 3 piece setup. I had to modify all 3 rods some, for the KD to work. I now have binding on the throttle cable and want to retain the cruise control. Almost have it. My height was off.
Thanks, Paul

It was! Added 2" to the down rod and shortened the rod into the trans about 1". Slight bend on the top rod. Works like a champ, but throttle cable is binding on the secondary shaft. Moving it up and over and I'll be in like Flynn.
