Just the part that runs down the backside of the engine to the pivot rod on the side of the transmission. Not sure exactly which year model, looks like the ones I have had on '67 Coronets with 318s?
It would still be missing the upper crank/pivot that attaches to the throttle bracket, and the carb to crank/pivot linkage rod, and the lower crank/pivot (transmission mounted) linkage rod that connects to the kickdown lever.

If you need a kickdown, and does not need to be original, the cable operated kickdown kits will work.

If I was you I would convert your motor to the Biuchilon kick down cable kit scope
Not the other cheaper one tsk
The early V8 cars came two ways, single piece and three piece kickdown linkage shruggy

Just because they have one doesn't mean they want to get rid of it. If you are having so much trouble finding one could be it's rare enough to hold on to.

I have run that Bouchillon cable in the past and was happy with it.

Have you looked around on E-bay? I see kick down linkages and sometimes single linkage rods on there all the time. Do a search for: Mopar Kickdown Linkage. Maybe you will find something.

FWIW, the earlier multi-piece BB kickdown stuff seems a little rare and $ anymore. I have 1 or 2 of them but have 0 interest in getting rid of them for that reason. I imagine many of the guys on here are like me. Later 70's stuff has a 1 piece kickdown that can work, but you have to change it all over.
