In my quest to fix this abomination of slapped parts together on my buddy's car....He he has a 58 Fury with a 440/727 combo. I already have the Bouchillon kickdown kit on the list of parts to order. His accelerator linkage is a solid piece of steel welded to a bolt and it connects to a bell crank. Honestly, he isn't looking for retro, he is looking for driveability so if I can stuff a cable in there it would be better for everyone and get rid of the bellcrank...thing is....I am not up to par with the 1958 model year. I know originally this car had a 318. The Bouchillon kit provides a clean look in the engine bay and I wanna make it perform better by adding a throttle cable all on one bracket....thing is...Bouchillon offers a square style and a round style...and I dunno which one it is. Anyone have knowledge on a 58 model year? http://www.bpeusa.com/BPEcables.asp

Yeah I am going to back off of it and make his bell crank / rod do the work. I thought it had the hammer style like my 69 but it doesn't...just going to install the BPE kickdown kit.
Thanks fellas

I had a 1957 Dodge that I put a 440 in. If memory serves, I used a complete 1965 Fury "C" body throttle linkage setup (cable, pedal, bellcrank and wheel).
