273/904 Kickdown

[Jim Kueneman]

Does anybody have a good picture of the factory kick down mechanism for a 273 and a 904. Here’s an alleged picture of one. For the life of me I’m not understanding the lever and moment arms to make this work correctly as I stare at mine. I know I don’t have the exact parts so I’m going to have to do a little fabrication but right now I’m not sure what I need to fabricate because I don’t understand the linkage

I was struggling with that picture to really grasp what it was telling me it’s a little fuzzy but I just found this picture which I think helps a lot only question I have now is what are the bends in the vertical rod and are they necessary to clear the body.

I know on the 65 and 66, that the kickdown and throttle brackets are separate. the throttle cable bracket is mounted on a little square boss as the pictures show. And the 4 barrel and the 2 barrel brackets are different. And the throttle arm on the AFB is different than the Edelbrocks. PM me for more info.
