RE: Torino

Then I'm telling you that that kickdown rod is not correct for your Torino. As I've said, that long rod is typical for Pick ups, Full size Fords/Mercs, and that "system" is used with the small block 302/351W in Torinos & Fairlanes. And it may be used with FE Mustangs/Cougars but I'm very vague on this. The '69 'stang coupe S code I have has a cable accelerator and it may have run the rod. It originally ran a Ford/Motorcraft carb, not a Holley like the '66-'68 real GT 390. I pulled the engine/trans over ten years ago and sold it. The car was totalled and it's been picked over very well.

So again, if you want your Torino to be "correct", then you'll need the system that includes the accelerator pedal rod with a "spoon"(this is what the shop manual refers to it as) and the lever that attaches to the bell of the C6, connected to the bell crank at top and to the kickdown lever from the trans. Sound complicated? It kind of is but it's easy to set up if you have all the parts/pieces. The shop manual helps too.

If the carb you plan to use on the 428 has a kickdown lever on it, then you will be able to fabricate something like the rod that was on your 302 connected to your FMX.

Good luck if you're installing a 428/C6 in the original home of a 302/FMX. It can be done. There are a few who have done it. I admire your initiative.
This thread, so far...
