There are so many engine/trans linkage combos over the years that it's hard to say what's correct, best way is to procure the entire linkage from an unmolested car with your same engine and trans.



That's what I was starting to conclude. Since the car isn't a matching numbers show car, I have decided to just scrap the whole linkage setup & go with the Lokar kit & be done with it. I went to a buddy's place (Marks69) yesterday & he showed me the setup on his car. I think that would be the quickest, sure-win fix. My Dart is one of those "wish I would have never bought this POS" vehicles, and I need to get it back on the road ASAP to give me a more positive attitude for the car. Working on something you love is one thing , working on something you despise is the extreme opposite .

I wanna say thank you to everyone with their input (it helped alot).
