yes, it is, but i strongly suggest looking in a junk yard for a 66, they changed the kickdown that year to one that doesnt bend the accelerator linkage...it bolts to the intake manifold.

Bend the accelerator linkage? I don't see how...

Cobain03, I'm sure you could get one fabricated. You'd only need to weld a bracket to come off the pedal rod and machine it to accept the kickdown cable. It would be good to have a good one to work from, so you could get the proper dimensions.
