Please check that bottom lever to be sure it is the short one. The long one will cause you lots of issues unless you redrill it.

Here is a shot of AAs 340 setup. It is dead right on.

May be the same kind of rod. We modified a 2 barrel one to work with the 340 bracket and the other two barrel parts we had.

Poor weld job but it was hurried; you can see how much was added to fit the spacer and the Air Gap.

One angle

For sure the Holley bracket is needed and you may have to raise the manifold bracket to allow for the extra height caused by the Air Gap. We run the same setup on my brother in laws car and in fact, one of the images in my book is it. Here is the four barrel lever and the two barrel lever...

If it was a factory 340 car, it should be correct IF it has the right lever on the valve body.. Please measure it from its pivot to the center when the rod drops in it. That will tell you if it still has the 4 barrel one or a 2 barrel one.

Yes but you likely have two barrel parts on it. Two barrel parts may not interchange with that four barrel top rod they show. If you buy it all, you are ok but it is hard to mix and match throttle pressure parts from various years and engine combinations. Does that make sense? Sorry if not.

What year are your other parts? That part you circled is very specific and if your others are way off, it may not work. And if they are 2 barrel parts installed, it will be wrong. You need to be sure you have the four barrel bracket on the valve body component that sticks out of the case. :):)

Don't do it like the right image.

Post a better shot of your set up. Let me see if I have some spare parts on the basement shelves.

Please remember, it is not technically a kickdown rod. it is the throttle pressure rod and without it, you are driving the car with line pressure set at idle. This is terribly tough on the internals.

I think I read once they cut one particular car's exhaust sound level down a dB or two in the 100 db range. So I guess you could say they reduce noise levels somewhat!

Thanks all for the support and kind words. It was a lot of work but great fun putting it all together (along with the help from so many).

Thanks JOS51700! My cost to build them is approaching $800 each. The parts are almost $480 and the labor is $250 and shipping is the rest. Since the last election occurred, prices for all of it skyrocketed. Shipping, labor, and parts especially. And boxes to ship them in!
