Looks like a shifter linkage.

Reverse lock out maybe??

67 Shift linkage rod for an Auto Transmission.

Could be the reverse lockout rod from the column down to the swivel bracket on the subframe. Not sure, though. Its pretty straight.

looks like a throttle rod, or at least its appears to be close, but the length is to long, comparing it to my 327 2bbl, maybe not......application ????????

You probably all ready know its a throttle rod......application ????????

no its not a throttle part, the only throttle rod I ever bought new was for a big block, it was a two part piece where one threaded end went into another and much shorter in lenght than this one,I havent got a clue what this is?

The throttle rod has a round end on the adjuster without a locking nut.

I agree the length is to long, but awful similar

Yeppers, your right:clonk:

Its a shift linkage for 67......... Either a glide, or 350/400

If I can find my old shift linkage I will check the #'s to compare.

It's part of the kickdown linkage for a Powerglide. It goes from the lever on the trans., to the "Z" bar mounted at the bellhousing flange.

67 Shift linkage rod for an Auto Transmission.DING! DING! DING!
We have a winner, folks!

1967 Camaro, 64-67 Chevelle & others, auto trans linkage from console shifter to transmission.

Powerglide kickdown is a solid rod, bellcrank, and an adjustable rod at carb connection with a threaded spindle on the rod at carb.

You're right Everett, the V8 linkage uses a solid rod. I think it's for a 6 cyl w/Glide though. Appear to be item #8, UPC M35 page A13 in the 68 AIM.

The trans gearshift rod is the same for 6-cyl and V8. However, I failed to recognize the set-up I described is for a V8 Powerglide kickdown. The L6 uses a single long rod from the carb to trans lever on a Powerglide.
I don't have the AIM close by, just going by memory.

But 'Thank you' just the same!
