340 4 barrel automatic kickdown lever/rod

The adjustable kd rod along the firewall to the 904 trans is all stock 318 linkage. Throttle cable bracket is a 340 4bbl bracket. The non adjustable rod at the carb with the bracket, is the rod you just passed on.

That is the same rod I have and will not work. Here are pictures of it on mine. First one is in the stock location, it will not reach the outer part where its supposed ride. The second is on the other side of the cable bracket but it would go under the cable and still not line up with the cable. and the last is on the same side with the extention adapter and still not the right angle ore even the length. The 4 barrel rod has the side bend to it.
