Depends on the car. When I put the 62 727 TF into my 56 Dodge D500, behind the 315 Hemi, I simply used the stock throttle pivot on the firewall and connected it to the 727 kickdown lever with a spare unmodified 56 Dodge throttle rod. It fit so well I didn't even have to adjust it for length to get the correct kick down/upshift performance.

I am in need of the complete trans kick down, linkage and rod kit for a 1959 trans that is bolted up to a '69 440….

I am hoping that a 413 set up out of a '59 will work, or does anyone have experience with putting together such a deal?

I have a 440 2X4 edelbrocks hooked up to a '59 torque flite that does not have the kick down linkage and rod, and cannot find what I need so does anyone have a source for a hot rod kick down linkage and cable kit that may work for me.

I just do not know enough to know what to look for.

All the kits I find are for 1962 and up….

Ideas??
