Looking for a complete 1966 4bbl kickdown/throttle linkage + bracket setup suitable for an A-body Valiant of that year.
Willing to work with asking price (if it is within my financial capacity).

Was wondering as I have a correct 66 273 Commando intake, correct 66 offset 4 barrel throttle cable bracket and correct return spring bracket all powdercoated in Flag Red by Phoenix Specialty Costings.
 
I do not. This setup is a year-correct marine 4bbl intake and marine AFB. Working in a tight budget, and am slowly acquiring the final parts I need.
 
I also have this setup, which I have not decided to use yet, and may or may not play around with later:View attachment 1715756992

That is a good one. I looked at the 1966 parts book yesterday and the kick down rods, engine bracket and bell crank on the transmission look the same. Only the top rod to the carb was different. Looked like they used the same parts on the 273 Belvedere also.

The bracket that mounts to the rear of the head is also different.
 
Some of the marine intakes are different than passenger car. Do you have pictures of the driver side where the throttle cable bracket bolts on? Also, is the carburetor pad flat or milled on a forward leaning angle?
 
And finally, my 340 intake for comparison. All intakes have an incline, as, the engine is not meant to sit completely level in the vehicle.
By MY eyeball, they look the same.

Some marine manifolds are at a very different angle which is noticeable. He should be good.
 
Yes, I'm trying to keep this all OE. No Lokars or 'Fauxkars'. Just good old original parts.
Technically, the upper bell crank that bolts to the back of the head, is '66 only 4bbl only. Some of the other pieces I'm trying to figure out interchange myself. I can get you the specs on the two-piece front adjustable rod if you need it, and maybe the other rods, bell cranks, and levers, as I sift through various sources.
