[68gtx]

anyone have the kickdown linkage setup for my 440 gtx with a 727 they would part with????

Do you know what it looks like? I have a couple setups that don't fit my 68, but it has a 78 motor. I will take some pictures of what I have and post them.

The orange bracket doesn't go with that set up. The rest is the style he need's, but it's hard to tell from pictures if it's for a RB block.

Is there anyway to tell if it is for a RB block?

Just by the measurement of the rod that runs down the back of the block, also rod the runs to the carb would need to be from a 4bbl . It would be a while till I could get to measure what I have, maybe someone will chime in with measurements. If not I will try to get them asap.

Thanks for the info. If somebody can get this measurement it would be great. I don't want to sell somebody something that they can't use.

1968 kick down

Here is a photo of a set up off a 68 440. that is 25 year old masking tape.
The vertical rod is 14" c-c

red

The above pictured rods look 1965 66, carb one for sure as the hole in front is clue. Bracket is 68 or earlier.

Thanks for the info. I checked mine and the long rod is 14 inches. Do you think mine would fit a 68 GTX 440.

pretty close to give it a try. carb rod should work if you adjust according to the service manual. you need the proper clip to hold it on the bracket bellcrank
