Title: 68 transmission kickdown lever and spring
Post by: Dan M on November 01, 2012, 01:24:17 PM
These 2 parts are at the carburetor on the drivers side and actuate the kickdown switch itself.

I also need the dashpot which is located on the same bracket.

Thanks in advance.

If you can't come up with these hard to get parts, you might consider adapting a kick down switch from a 69=70 Cadillac.  They work better since they are a lever switch that activates against the throttle lever movement.  The original ones on the 68  were problematic as they had a square inset connected to the carb shaft that would often break.
