| RE: Correct kickdown rod for 67 Ford Fairlane 390 GT |

The kickdown rod assembly is unique to the 390 Fairlane, Frank. Good luck finding an exact replacement as they are not available aftermarket and what shows up on eBay is infrequent and expensive. You'll also not be able to cobble up something easily since the function with the bellcrank makes it difficult for even a skilled fabricator to create one.
Now, the good news. Unless you are looking for a factory-correct application, you can buy the C6 kickdown cable-operated set up from Lokar. It attaches to a carburetor bracket and to the carburetor, then to the transmission. In my opinion, this is a far easier and more functional method for the C6 kickdown since it is insensitive to engine location and torque-over. It may also be a good oportunity to do a throttle cable conversion at the same time a ditch the rod/bellcrank assembly. |
