I am helping out a friend who bought a 70 Chrysler convertible.
he is doing a full-on resto.
It had a 72-up 400 2bbl in it and he put in a 69 383 bbbl.
The car has factory cruise control just to add soup to the mix.
Can anybody post up pics or a link to the correct 4bbl with cruise throttle bracket and kickdown linkage please??
I already installed a correct 4bbl throttle cable,but the kickdown linkage from the newer 400 just does not seem to work properly.
Also the 400 2bbl cruise cable is too short.
Two ways I can go
1.Find and install correct 1970 linkage and bracketand cruise parts..
2.find correct 72 and newer 4bbl kickdown linkage and cruise parts.
Thanks in advance.

Here are a couple of pics of my '70 383 auto Barracuda.





The spring on the linkage going to the trans stops the ball end coming out, I know it's not right but replacement parts are hard to get in New Zealand & this car is a driver rather than a trailer queen

If your friend is doing a "full on resto" then he should at least invest in a service manual. Otherwise you'll be on here every day asking questions on how to put stuff together.

After yesterday working on his car I strongly suggested just that.
His car is different tham my fleet of C's and some differences were duly noted.
