LD4B installation on a 75 318

Hi
Wanted to say thanks for this great how to post!!
Wondering if everything is still working up to your expectations.
Also curious what camshaft you are using.

I am currently parts collecting to do a similar 4 barrel conversion on my all original 73 Scamp 318 AT using your outstanding parts list. I rounded up all the same parts other than choosing an Edelbrock 1403 500CFM carb and a Weiand 8007 manifold but still cant seem to locate the kickdown rod as shown in your photo.
Thought I would reach out to you to see if you or any other member might have one or know where to source one.
I put up a parts wanted listing but haven't received any responses as of yet.
Again thanks for the detailed post and appreciate any help locating this rod.

-Edelbrock LD4B intake manifold
-Edelbrock 1406 carb
-340 Six Pack coil mounting bracket (#407)
-Coil mounting bracket/ring (#8213)
-Throttle return spring, small block (#TS02)
-Throttle spring bracket, ’71 – ‘73 340 4 barrel (#736)
-Throttle cable bracket, ’68 - ’74 340/360 (#0060)
-Throttle kick-down spring, ’70-’74 (BF341)

-Mopar performance valve cover gasket (MOPP5249581AB)

Very well done. Will the throttle cable work with the 4 barrel carburetor? I don't know from personal experience but I've always been told that the cable that runs from the pedal to the carburetor are different lengths for the 2 and 4 barrel carburetors.
