You should be able to bend it back up those commonly get bent when the handle gets caught on someones foot. BTW that conv sure looks tough from the back love it, brings back memories of the factory Panther Pink one i sold a few years ago!

I did not realize the rod was supposed to be straight.  The rod was bent when I took the assembly out of the car, and I didn't think to check if that was incorrect.  Thanks for the tip.  I'll try and straighten the rod with the assembly still mounted in the car.  I may not get it perfect, but I know I can remove most of the bend to allow the rod to move more freely.

Finally got mine done.  Decided to paint the "bare" metal part after all.  Used "Metal Mask" paint.  Installed a new pedal pad along with a new brake release pull.  I think it came out pretty good for a "driver" quality/home restoration.
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda.  Matching numbers 440 U Code, 4 speed pistol grip, Rallye dash, AM 8 Track, Shaker hood, 15 inch rallye wheels, Dana 60 4.10, Super Track Pak.  One of 134 - 440 "U" coupes codes built in 1970 and one of 100 - 440 Super Track Paks built in 1970.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.
