This is a one-piece kickdown rod from a '79 360/TQ/727. Note the ovaled hole in one side; the other side is still round.

I compared it to 2 other identical 360 pieces and a similar 440 piece I have in my stash and they all look similar. Granted, these are used parts, so did they wear like that or come from the factory this way? shruggy
