69 442 backdrive linkage
Fellas, I am looking for all the parts beginning
with the rod from the steering column down to
the triangle piece that bolts to the output shaft
of the trans that holds the cable for the shifter in
a 400 auto. console car. A 350 turbo may work?
The kicker is it has to be a 69. The 70-72 will not
work, I have tried, either you have low, with no park,
or you have park with no low.
I'm sure that a 69 S would work as well, as long as it is a
Console shift car.
The steering column has the stumpy arm, not the longer
one with the bend in it, if this helps at all. Thanks for any
leads on these parts guys, Adam.

If all else fails, calculate and fabricate.
I did that to get backdrive on a '69 that I changed from floor shift AT to MT. Could not find the parts, but had illustrations from the Asm. Manual, so I put the existing lever from the column in the positions I wanted it, measured the motion, and calculated how long the arm on the other end of the equalizer should be to attain that motion. Cut 2 or three other equalizers up for the parts needed, and made something that works and looks about right.
But, sure, if you can find the actual correct parts, that's a better choice.
