I'm not sure, the car is not road worthy yet, thats the only way it looks even close, I'm thinkin if I need a bolt to shorten the rod a carrige bolt might make it smoother. there is also a spring down by the tranny that pulls that lever foward, every car i look at the springs are in a different place.
Bullit your's looks similar to my 74, also looks like kickdown starts moving as soon as you hit the throttle, now my car had no linkage at all, bought that setup off ebay, all looks like factory stuff, maybe it's just that rod , might be too long? Thanks,Rich.
Hmmm ,maybe once I determine the right spot for the bolt I could remove it & just weld a bead across the opening in the rod
