Just found out today that I have no kickdown rod!
I don't even know what one looks like.
The engine is a 289, with an auto tranny. Year of car is 1966, not sure what all is original, but the engine is not.
What I need is the horizontal linkage bar that connects the throttle lever thingamabob to the small lever on the side of the transmission.
I feel so lost. Need a tranny manual or something.

Oh yea, a picture and critical dimensions would help too, I can make my own.

You should be able to use one from any 302/C4 combination. Should be thousands of them around in junkyards.
the 66 style switched from the dual rod design of the pre 65 cars. you should have a small extension from the bellcrank (rod that goes through the firewall) extending almost straight down. This is attached to the kickdown paw with a small cable, not a rod.
You might check any of the primary vendor catalogs (hard copies or online) or just about any site which carried C4 transmission parts whether you buy or just learn what it looks like.
ROFL!!
I have the upper type with the 7A372 lever.
I also got an email from someone here that pointed me towards a place where I can order a brand new cable. Woohoo!
Thank you all who replied. Now I know what I need.

FWIW, I agree with that statement.
But if the first person to reply chose top posting, I will continue top posting after him.
It will make no sense if you do both :D
You can't please everyone.

I have a better one, but don't use it for reasons of taste:
"Posting at the top because that's where the cursor happened to be is like sitting in your pants because that's where your asshole happened to be."
I dare you to email that to Kate....
