A998 w/ Lockup in a 65 Dart with 273

Went to hook up the kickdown linkage and discovered a problem. The vertical rod from the upper bell crank to the lower bell crank was too long.

Turns out that the mounting boss for the lower bell crank is in a different location.

Here's the 1965 transmission:

Here's the 1984 transmission:

The boss is higher and farther forward. The solution was to make a shorter vertical rod and to swap the horizontal rod and lever on the transmission with later versions that are shorter and clocked at a different angle.
