I have a factory-mated 440 and 727 with 4-barrel kickdown linkage. I have a 1975 Plymouth Valiant, and I have a 6-pack setup complete (Sorry, six-barrel).

If I want to keep a factory-style kick-down linkage, is there a linkage for the 6 barrel that will work with the A-body chassis?
Yes I know Lokar Cables exist. I'm looking for factory-style if possible.
Thank you

My thoughts:
The Holley 2bbls. are the same width as a 4bbl., so the four barrel throttle bracket would be in order.
However, the center carb is centered like on a regular 2bbl.; as opposed to the (primary)throttle shaft of a 4bbl., which is ~1.25" farther forward than the 2bbl.
This makes me think that the 4bbl. throttle bracket paired with a 2bbl. kickdown rod should work just about perfect. It should at the very least get you in the ballpark, all with factory parts.
 
The A Body must use the 3 pc kickdown setup. The one pc rod will not work in an A Body.
