A&A transmission out of Camby, IN had those reproduced years ago, might have a picture on their website? If not, give them a call...

No pics on a&a’S website, just hoping there is someone with an original 383 a body that can help. Thanks
It sure would be nice to see the original parts, since the conventional big block upper bellcrank puts the linkage rod against the firewall bulkhead wiring connector.

I don’t have a picture but the correct big block bellcrank has the lower linkage rod on the same side as the rod going to the carburetor and it’s shaped like a V. This eliminates having the lower linkage rod hitting the bulkhead connector. When I was putting together my M-code Cuda I was lucky enough to get a complete kick down assembly from a 383 A-body. I was even luckier in that I didn’t have to pay a lot for it.
I'll try and get pictures of mine. It will take a bit.
The V shaped rod would explain it. I did get a reproduction upper bellcrank, but the lower linkage rod was at a funky angle.
