kickdown rod dilemma - throttle not opening fully SOLVED !!!

I read a very simplified explanation of those "fulcrum points", etc... someplace. If I understood correctly, the length of the levers on the carburetor and on the kickdown lever on the transmission need to be identical on Mopars. Distance from the shaft it is turning to where the rod attaches must be equal on both levers. There are a bunch of different transmission levers available.
I'll check out the lengths. It will be interesting to see.

I had a 273 4bbl in there for many years but never noticed if I was getting full throttle travel or not.
