I'm having issues trying to figure out this bracket, (see picture). It mounts with the top left bell housing bolt behind the intake manifold on my 61 318 w/torqueflight.
It seems to be part of the throttle linkage pivot rod that mounts to the firewall. It's a heavy "U" shapped bracket but it seems I'm missing a part.
Any thoughts? A picture of one assembled would be cool.

thanks

Will.

Your photo doesn't help but it is likely part of the connection between the throttle linkage and the throttle pressure linkage down to the Torqueflite. Sometimes we mistakenly call that linkage the "kick down lever"

Thank you.... Thats a diffrent setup then in 61. Neither the part book or service manual has a illustration that depicks it.

On the 61 the bracket, (14-11-20), has a rod that extends out toward the passenger side to the bracket in question. I think it is to stabalize the linkage to the carburator so not be effected by engine roll.

I understand the TV ,(kick down), linkage, The 61 is very similar to your diagram except for the bell housing mounted bracket.

Doesn't this show what you are talking about?

As said, the 61 are different, for some unknown reason. I'd change that stupid 61 setup to the pre 61 design.

So the diagram from the 1961 Mopar parts catalog is wrong?

Wow.

At least for some cars. My 61 does not have that style firewall bracket, only one half of that the other end, so to speak, is attached to the engine/bellhousing, constantly flexing the linkage. Actually every 61 I have seen is like that. It is OE but I'm going to change that to the 60 and before setup.

The bracket in question is not shown in that illustration. I'll get a good picture next time I go over to the shop where my car is, (250 miles).

It dosen't make sense the way it is unless there is another part to the bracket. Worked fine when I took it apart, but that was a couple years ago.

Dosen't show up in any of the pictures I took before dissassembly
