I looked at doing that as well, putting a torch to my kickdown that is, but I have severe clearance issues in the Mustang II. The engine sets so close to the firewall that it wasn't going to allow for me to "rework" the kickdown rod. I even made a wire template and tried manipulating the bends and offsets to make up the difference....Lokar was the answer for me. I suppose it all comes down to personal preference. As long as it works, it's all good.

 

I used the orig. set up with my 1406 , I threaded the part that hooks to carb and put a nut on it and it works great on my 65FSTBK

 

I replaced a stock 2 barrel with a 1406 last year, I bought a new throttle linkage rod and it works fine took a lot of fine tuning though. I'll try and post some photos tommorrow.

 

Hey! I was wondering if you were going to post any pics yet?

 

Here's how I did mine

 

Looks Good, I will give it a try!

 

Can you supply some pics on this for help

 

sure.. what do you want to see in the picture.

 

The tranny kickdown setup and throttle spring locations-close up for detail would be really appreciated!, Thanks!

 

Here's a few....
