Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a kickdown bellcrank for a 65 Mustang 289 c4 transmission. The kickdown rod from the transmission connects to it. I’ve only seen one available on eBay and the guy never sent it. I’ve also checked the more popular distributors and they don’t have it or don’t know what I’m talking about. I’ve seen pictures of it on other 289s and that’s it. I’d rather not go to an aftermarket setup if I can avoid it.
Any help is appreciated.

Yeah more and more I’m thinking I’ll eventually go to a cable setup. I think the 66 &67 had that big rod that connected to the carburetor

Most all small block with autos had the bell crank that bolted down to the intake. If you still need one I could check a couple places I know around here.

Hey that would be great. I did get a cable setup from CJ Pony Parts that I haven’t installed yet. I would rather use a bellcrank if one is available.
