Trans Kickdown Linkage Guru Sought

The biggest problem is when we take 2bbl parts and try to bend,fold,weld,lengthen,ect them to work for a 4bbl. The top kickdown rod,and the cable bracket are both different,between the two.
Many times there are guys on the site that go from a 2bbl to a 4bbl,and ask why doesn't my linkage work or line up right ? And then they show a pic of a 2bbl cable bracket on a 4bbl.

Trust me,I'm all for bending,fabricating,using my mind to make things work. That's great.But if you really want it to operate the way the factory did,you have to use the correct parts. I'm not sure what bracket you have,but if I read correctly,you bent it to get in the position it is in.

If I could give you any advice I would start on just the engine linkage.
Learn the difference between a 2bbl throttle bracket and a 4bbl bracket.
You will find out that a 2bbl bracket holds the cable horizontal and a 4bbl holds it vertical.
Get the correct 4 bbl bracket.
Then I would learn the difference between a 2bbl kickdown rod and a 4bbl.
The 2bbl is bent towards the intake,the 4bbl is bent towards the drivers fender.
Get the correct 4bbl rod. Which I have by the way. :)

Once you get the top of the motor squared away,then we can work on the bottom.
Hope this helps.
