Operation "Black-Daytona".
The 440 in it is a 73 or 74 I believe, hence had wrong-year single-piece throttle pressure kickdown linkage. So, I used an extra linkage set I had laying around. I am missing the rod that goes from the intake bellcrank to the... tranny bellcrank. Sooooooo, using Teddy's original from Greenie and an extra rod from something else, I just bent the extra one comparing it to the original and voila, pretty darn close. The 440 version is slightly longer than the 383, so I just extended it some.
1. Left most: extra whatever ( may be small block version?), what the modified rod started as.
2. Original 383
3. My modified version

Hopefuly tonight after work I will install and adjust if needed..
