What I'm saying is that it looks like you have two:
The factory part, dangling, and an aftermarket part, installed on the tower.
The question, is:
Which one, if any is hooked up at the carb end?

Everything they show in that picture is related to the shifter linkage. The kickdown should be like I mentioned.

As mentioned above, take off the top gold lever (especially if it's not attached to anything).
...and try the lever in the pic you just posted.
I wonder if the clocking wouldn't work for the person that "installed" it originally, and that's why they left it.
I hope the damage hasn't already been done from driving on and off the transport and any driving the OP did.
Driving without kickdown pressure is the easiest way I know to tear up a torqueflight.

the gold " rods" that you see are part on the new shifter, everything was hooked up with old shifter that broke. kick down worked perfect , but this shifter is totally different in how it is hooked up.. mapormarks has a column shift linkage , minus the bracket that bolts to trans, thinking about sending back the sidewinder and going back to column shift

Shouldn't matter if you have all of the hardware. Check this out it will show you direction of travel in the new shifter linkage. The only issue I see is that the kickdown cable that you have and the shifter linkage setup use the same hole to mount to. The problem is the shifter cable wants it to be a pivot point. The kickdown wants it to be a fixed bracket. You may have to relocate the fixed kickdown bracket for it to work. They cannot occupy the same hole and still work.
1. A couple options for you. Get the original kickdown linkage stuff and install it.
2. Lokar kickdown cable assembly. It uses a different way of bolting it up.

Mounting hole C in this picture is the same hole the shifter cable wants you to use.

Step one make the shifter work to select the gears. per instructions for the shifter.
Step two hook up the kick down cable. per the Bouchillon instructions.

Step 3 Look at where bouchillon wants you to connect the cable bracket. It wont work.
yea, i see that, i have decided to return the shifter, Moparmarks has a column shift linkage, just gonna go back to that

Non-slapstick, but can be made into one with 1 or 2 parts.
Price seems right.
