Does someone have a source for a new kickdown rod retainer (clevis), part 3418808. Mine is ovaled out. I suppose I could weld a washer on but that would look chintzy. 1974 440 with TQ.

That is the one piece rod style? I'd think you could find one at a junk yard, maybe ebay? a tad pricey.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/MOPAR-1970-73-Dodge-Plymouth-318-340-400-Kickdown-Rod/323767817650?hash=item4b6210d5b2:g:ywUAAOSwNp1bzmH~

yes, that is too pricy and there is no clevis. Just the clevis ought to be 10-15 dollars. Maybe I can make one out of square tubing and cut it up.

The correct terminology is "retainer".

Mine is ovaled out.


Post a picture of yours. Mine was ovaled on only one side. I think it's supposed to be that way.
