I'm having a tough time locating a kickdown linkage for my super-six setup. Has anyone here manufactured one or modified the 1-bbl linkage to do the job? What's different? I've got a welding rig, so I figure one can be made if I can get some critical dimensions.

I have asked that a few times. Always ended up going to a cable style (Lokar) setup.

Any magnum/auto setup uses this cable. Its the only way to go if you dont want to spend $$$. I had a whole 17.50 in my kickdown that was on my dart. Got the cable and bracket off of a mid 90's 1500 and spent an hour installing it and it worked great.
