At 1st. it looked backwards, but now i see the large vacuum port so its on right, whats up with that linkage? 75 Duster, 451 10.87 @ 123.58 NA 97 Z28 6sp., 12.01 @ 115 on a 100 shot 71 Swinger. 360 magnum. 12.58 @ 105 78 cutlass, 469 BBC. 12.70 @ 108 on street tires. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2kqNmMfheU

The linkage is NOT A body anything , that's a 72 up 1 piece setup and it's NEVER going to work properly, nevermind it's missing the mpar throttle adaptor and that angle for the throttle cable is going to cause issues . It's needs Andyf's hise rise throttle adapter bracket to correct the throttle cable angle, the mopar linkage adapter and a bouchilion throttle valve linkage cable to the carb because the one piece setup is not going to work with that manifold .

Oh no I understand fully...Like I said its not mine. Mine has the working kickdown linkage. I make my own stuff like my throttle brackets for my Lokar and they always work like a charm. I am trying to help this guy out fix his car but he is on the fence. I tell him how to do it but he never does it, doesnt even own a set of SAE wrenches...Always expecting others to do it for him. I am part of a small local club here with maybe 25 cars and he has a Gen Lee and is restoring it. I just like pointing out the incorrect things he has bought to him. He trusts some 50 yr old mechanic that has never owned anything American except magazines. He trusts his opinion more than mine. I have never opened my hood for any of these guys and they are convinced my 69 R/T has a slant 6 under it. Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s

I didnt take the picture. I am just puzzled by wanna be mechanics....This is the same mechanic who installed his alternator on right in front of his fuel pump...an inch away from his subframe to "clean up the engine bay".... Now the guy who is assembling this car is saying he took it from a 73 Charger with a 318...I still don't think he has a kickdown linkage. Its going to be funny when he finds his transmission all over the street here. Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s

And John,if you look again it is connected as throttle linkage and would work as such but not well.

Please look again , the factory throttle cable is installed on the linkage in board of the trans linkage. But you are correct if that mess was being used a throttle linkage it would not work well at all .
