RE: Which car?
By Mike McQuesten - 10/15/2001 8:54:57 PM; IP 63.50.107.11
Hey Joel, it depends on which 428 Cobra Jet vehicle. I've checked my assertion a little more, it depends on which vehicle and maybe what year. Here's what I found:

From the 1967 Mustang/Fairlane/Comet/Cougar shop manual, page 7-67, there's are pics of the two systems of accelerator/kickdown linkage for Mustang/Cougar w/390 & C6 and one system for the Fairlane/Comet w/390 & C6. So this is why I was assuming that the kickdown/accel. linkage would be the same for .... '68 or '69/'70.

Then I walked out back to look at a '69 S-code Mustang parts car I've had for many years. Not much left of it. We've picked it over quite a lot. However, the accelerator cable throttle is still intact. So this would lead me to believe that '69 Mustang may have used the kickdown rod like Royce is depicting. I can say for a fact that the '69 Torino/Fairlane 428s ran a system very similar to the one I described before.....the accelerator pedal rod had a "spoon" welded to it that actuated a lever connected to the bell and linked to the kickdown lever on the C6. I still have this system complete from a Torino GT 428CJ/C6.

So it does depend on what vehicle. Which I don't think you mentioned.....must be a Mustang, huh?

The rod Royce has provided a picture of looks very similar to what was used on pick ups and full size Fords/Mercs and with small block apps in the Mustangs/Cougars.

The 735 Holley carb I had was original on the Torino I mentioned too and it had no provision (kick down lever) for the rod that Royce is showing. I guess the Mustang/Cougar 428 CJ 735 Holley had this kick down lever on the carb?
This thread, so far...
