Does anyone have a measurement

[Lee A]

Lots of us have put 440s in our Chargers but i think my linkage is too short due the height of the blocks being 3/4 of an inch different. Does anyone have a true 440 linkage in their car that they could measure I got a 68 charger with a 727 and a 440 and need a measurement of the 3 adjustable rods that go from the carb to the tranny on an original 440 linkage thanks

Stock intake and carburetor?

no its an edelbrock intake and carb but there isnt much difference there i took the tired 383 out and put in a rebuilt 440 and the height difference i think is enough not to make it kick down because on a small block like a 318 there is just one long rod and a 383 there is a 13 to 14 inch rod and a 440 i think the rod is 14.5 to 15.5 inches long i was wondering if anyone had a stock linkage setup to measure it and see what the heck i got going here

I thought the 440 and 383 take the same linkage in a stock configuration.  John Kunkel will know for sure.  Don't be surprised if its your intake that threw it off.  Which intake is it?  If its a Performer RPM that will be it for sure.

The intake is a edelbrock Proformer 440
