Help Needed: 70 383/727 throttle linkage identification

[WDO72]

Hi, and I hope you're doing well.

I purchased a refinished set of throttle kickdown linkage from ebay for a '70 383 4 barrel/'68 727 trans combo. The engine and trans will eventually go into my '72 'cuda. My understanding is that the throttle linkage is for a B body and is complete.

I believe that the 727 is out of a '68 Charger. I'm not exactly sure originally where the 383 came from, yet it is a '70 engine.

I've included some photos for reference.

My questions: Will the linkage set in the attached photo work for my engine/trans configuration, and are all the parts in the photos correct for a 4 barrel 383/727 68-71? (Do the B body and E body interchange or do I need a new set? I was told today that the bracket in the photos is not correct for a 4 barrel and only works for a 2 barrel.)

Any and all help is welcome and greatly appreciated.

It looks correct to me. Yes, B-Body and E-Body kinkdown linkage is interchangeable. See photo from the E-Body Restoration Guide. It's for cruise control, but the linkage and bracket looks correct.

Thanks! The info is appreciated.

Update: Turns out, I've been informed that the first rod (which connects to the carb link) in the photos above is for a 2 barrel carb not for a 4 barrel carb. Additionally, the throttle bracket is correct for 66-67, but may work for other years. I'll update this thread with photos and info when I receive the correct rod and bracket.

I've almost always had to extend the carburator linkage because of running high rise intakes. Even on my 70 Challenger when I went from a 2bbl to a 4bbl, I just extended the 2bbl linkage because I've done it so many times!

That's exactly the case with the carb link rod I originally had for the 383. Someone at some point extended it. However, I'm not sure which carb or carbs were in use with the extension rod, as there was a tunnel ram with 2 Holley 650s on the block when I purchased the engine. (Incidentally, I'm not convinced that the engine was running very well for the previous owner, considering the configuration.)

The cool thing is the factory shop manuals have a detailed section on how to adjust the throttle kickdown. Some clever member will probably post pictures or a link before I can.
