For a '67 and newer I would agree. For a '66 and older, there might not be enough clearance back by the firewall to run that setup.
Thus why they used the three piece setup. Good luck findin THAT! lol
Those pictures are of a three piece kickdown...
Yeah, I was sayin how hard that is to find now. That stuff used to be easy to find. I like it because it's so compact it fits almost anywhere.
That's what I had on my 64 Valiant. It worked very well. There are few substitutes for the factory parts there that work as well.

Nice and square, killer Alignment! Hard to beat factory! Man, the stuff I trashed over the years. I SHOULD have Piles and Miles of stuff like that
ok let me go out there today and look again way someone setup the kickdown i think there may be two rods. So my question is how do i get a setup that works. do they make a kit or i got to find an org. setup. the bracket for the kickdown is there and hooked up its from there to carb that the issues. i'll get in there and take some more pics. frustrating not know what i'm trying to find
hey i am thinking that kickdown rod is correct where it is located. i found this from an original post taken from the build manual and you see in the pic that's not a keyed slider on the end to linkage its a rod like i have. did they change after 65? not saying anyone is wrong just stating what i found and trying to see what is right. help..

Your photo is correct for a '64-6 model (2bbl in this case). The 4bbl is very similar, except the upper bell crank and forward rod is different, along with the accelerator cable bracket (which is a separate piece '64-6). Looks like you have an aftermarket intake and carb. Most times you need to do some modification to make the stock stuff work. Now, using the '67-up setup, you might be able to use it if you have enough clearance to do so. There again, you may have to made some mods to make it work correctly. Some intakes and carbs have different bosses and connection points.
ok great, then it must have been a 2 barrel car to begin with then the after market and then the try for retro fil. i think the kickdown will still work, just need the 4 barrel throttle bracket conversion

Your engine photo look to be a '67 4bbl setup. Just use that if it will fit and adjust. If not, you will need to find the early 4bbl bell crank assy and make a front rod work......usually by bending and/or changing the length. When you start using aftermarket parts, you need to get all the related conversion parts along with them, or, you run into these fitment issues.
looks like you are on the right track. clean it up, set it up and see how it fits with your carb and manifold. You still may need an adapter for the carb. I would look up Demon Carbs and see if they specify one for Chrysler products - it would help to have the model number for the carb, but I have no clue where Demon puts its numbers. Please keep us informed as you make progress!
sorry if this is repeat:
AHH! this driving me nuts i got the one bracket but i'm still all messed up please look at the pics and tell me what i need or how i can get this to work. the bracket i got is included. this should be simple just frustrated. what am i missing , got the bracket and the link i got shows same cable end just bracket way different.

so in your picture of the blue manifold, the throttle is connected where the kickdown should be and the throttle goes on the opposite side of that same stud (little side with a hole for a pin to hold the throttle). Look at picture in post #26. right now (1st picture in post #42) since the kickdown and the throttle are on opposite sides of the shaft through the carb you are pulling the kickdown forward when you want to push it back toward the firewall.

Yup, as str12-340 said, your forward kickdown rod is mounted in the wrong place. It needs to go on the same post as the throttle cable. You look to have a conglomeration of various parts from other years. The '66 and older setup is totally different than the '67-up setup. Trying to mix and match can be a frustrating waste of time. You start adding aftermarket parts to the equation, and you're in for some "fun". I recommend you get a complete setup for one particular year and see if that will work for you. The later cable bracket you show in some of your photos looks like it would interfere with the early kickdown linkage. Try using the early cable bracket and correct carb attachment post. I don't see the correct carb post for the cable and kickdown in any of your photos. They came on all the '64-6 Abody V8's (and many other early Mopars)
ok great info.. so where do i find the correct setup? thats the issue, i can't seen to locate the right parts so i'm buying stuff i think works and back to square one, just need someone or some company that sells the setup and i'm good.. i think lol
So you have a 1901 street Demon carb and an Edelbrock sp2p intake?

That's not the correct post for a '65 model carb/kickdown linkage. The correct one has a ball on the outboard section for the kickdown rod, and a pin for the cable on the inboard section.

This is the correct factory AFB carb post for the kickdown and throttle cable connection. It probably won't mount exactly in the same spot as your aftermarket carb (maybe they made a conversion kit that did), but, you should be able to get it close and modify the rod length to compensate.
