Totally different - They went one piece kickdown around '71. With the kick-down lever on the trans pulled all the way towards the front of the car the slotted lever (pulled all the way forward) should just be touching the carb throttle stud at idle.

I know the one piece kickdown isnt right for my car but was trying to come up with something that will allow me to drive the car until I can aquire the correct one. The car and myself are supposed to be in my best friends wedding the 27th of this month.....Time and money are both running short....lol

That is what that small spring is for. To hold the rear of teh KD slot forward on the throtle pins for constant progress ive throttle pressure. Number 13 in the illustration.

Can you fabricate it so the slotted rod starts moving when the throttle does and the lever at the trans is pretty much all the way back when someone is flooring the gas pedal.

Someone had posted in that case to wire it halfway back & leave it there for now but I would check with Kunkel to confirm
