You either have the wrong manifold or the linkage on incorrectly , if they are the right manifolds the linkage rod will not hit it .



This is starting to sound like there is a problem with the shift linkage and not the kickdown linkage. He said passing gear linkage originally so I'm assuming Throttle Valve linkage but I find it hard to believe that stuff could get in the way. Maybe there's a problem in the bellcrank area of his shift linkage.
Does that sound right ,Joe?
