Im in the process of hooking up my kick down linkage on my 340 with a factory TQ. I have a box of aquired linkages but can someone post some pics so i can try and hook it up properly with the right parts.

Early '71 had 3-piece linkage, later '71 had single.

It depends on what car it is being used for. A-bodies require the 3 piece kickdown linkage since the 1 piece won't fit because the firewall is in the way.
