Does anyone have a side by side pic of a super six kick down rod vs like a 74 1bbl rod out there? If not I guess I'm get some Lokar stuff. Is it a lenght issuse or a shape thing. I've never seen a super sik kick down rod so this will be fyi for me and others.

The shape and the length is different.
There are additional photos in the Super Six article, posted in the articles section of the site.

i just bent a coat hanger how it needed to be because i had nothing to use for the kickdown after i put the cliff intake and 4bbl on after i got the shape and length with the coat hanger i broke out the torches started heating and bending using the coat hanger as a guide. It worked well for me it took some patience though

Doc has posted the 2bbl linkage pic. You can see the 1bbl linkage pic in your factory service manual.
