Kickdown Linkage - 1966-68 B Body 4BBL - 3 Piece Early Style

We now offer a complete reproduction of the entire 3 piece early style kickdown linkage for 1966-68 B bodies with the 440 (RB) 4 barrel, however this will work for many other similar years and body styles as well, it just won't be 100% correct for a restoration.

If you are intending to use this setup with a low deck "B" (383/400) engines, all the parts should be compatible except for the "middle" rod. We also offer the low deck middle separately below as part number 109-1701, so you can change out the middle rod, and use this setup with low decks also.

This set includes the following parts: 

1. Throttle Kickdown Rod Connector (with return spring hole.) This is the first item at the top of the linkage, the slotted connector that slides on the carburetor linkage stud. Reproduction of Chrysler #2468744

2. Carb to cable mounting bracket lever - 4bbl Carb - (This is the "upper" of the 3 rods which connects the throttle kickdown rod connector to the throttle kickdown lever) Reproduction of Chrysler part number 2899358 Also includes the matching special diameter washer and hairpin clip to secure it.

3. Throttle control mounting bracket (also called the throttle cable bracket - This bolts on using one of the intake manifold bolts and holds the throttle cable in place. It also provides the pivot axle for the throttle kickdown lever.) Reproduction of Chrysler part number 2780876.

4. Throttle kickdown lever. This is the upper lever that pivots off the throttle cable bracket and connects the "upper" rod to the "middle rod." Reproduction of Chrysler part number 2465413. Also includes the matching special diameter washer and hairpin clip to secure it.

5. Cable mounting bracket lever to transmission bellcrank rod. This is the "middle" of the 3 rods, which connects the throttle kickdown lever to the transmission bellcrank lever. This lever is for RB (413/426/440) engines only. "B" Engines (361/383/400) use a different shorter lever since the deck height is lower, and this causes the intake manifold to sit lower, so this rod must be shorter for "B" engine applications. Reproduction of Chrysler part number 2843793.

6. Transmission bellcrank lever. This is the lower lever that bolts to the side of the transmission bellhousing and pivots to connect the "middle" rod to the "lower" rod. Reproduction of Chrysler part number 2843794.

7. Transmission bellcrank stud assembly. The transmission bellcrank lever above pivots on a double ended stud which is screwed into a threaded hole in the bellhousing of an automatic trans. We include a reproduction of the original stud (Chrysler part number 2658286), the correct flat washer (Chrysler part number 120394) and the hairpin clip (Chrysler part number 6025071)

8. Transmission bellcrank to transmission rod. This is the "lower" of the 3 rods that connects the transmission bellcrank lever to the throttle control lever on the transmission itself. Reproduction of Chrysler part number 2899330. We also include the attaching clip which secures it to the throttle control lever.

9. Throttle control lever. This is the very last item at the bottom of the linkage, the lever that bolts onto the transmission itself. Reproduction of Chrysler part number 2536270.
