Quote: Here's a shot of my modified rpm air-gap with r/t heads.
Hard to see but I was able to use a 318 throttle bracket and 318 1 piece kickdown linkage. With the small pedestal washers I made and bending the mounts on the throttle bracket from 45 to 90 degrees and some bending of the kickdown it works great. Saved on buying a lokar.

I have been having a heck of a time getting the kickdown on my truck "just right",It has a crate motor and those darned vertical intake bolts, makes the angles all screwed up on the K/D bracket. Do you have any more pics of the K/d brkt?
I don't have any more pictures, but one thing I ended up doing (and you can see it in the picture, shiny chrome nut) is on the slotted rod that attaches to the carb I added a nut/bolt/washer to allow additional "lengthening" of the kickdown. It wasn't long enough as is and that was my simple solution.
The only modification to the bracked was bending the 2 mounting tabs from 135 degrees to 90 degrees. It's a 1970 318 bracket. And yes the angles aren't pretty.
