I'm thinking you'll have to adapt to a complete later type kick down assembly to use the ThermoQuad.
Were you the one who mentioned using a police car style kick down system?
No it wasn't me but I would bet money that's going to be your best bet!
Police car? that was me Here it is and I just grabbed another set up on Face book market place. This 318 4bbl out of a diplomat police car was just on face book for sale. So they are still out there. I paid $100 for everything and it had a fresh trans. The linkage was worth more than I paid for the motor and trans

Was it a set that went with that powertrain? If anyone ever pulled the motor and trans together - the one piece rods often get bent. Carefully, slowly "tighten" a bend to get a shorter overall rod. OR - If the throttle pressure is working correctly - cut the slot longer.
You will never get a one piece system to work on an A-body. 71 on up B and E body or C-body will take a one piece. No A-bodies or pre 71 B's. There is not enough firewall clearance.

looks like your missing the tension spring for that slider arm
I'm modifying my kick down linkage from a 2bbl set up, adding 2 inches to the rod. How far from the back of the slot is the tab for the spring? And where do I find/buy the right spring?
Thanks
