1966 powerglide control linkage orientation

[Joseph U.]

I am trying to restore a 1966 coup with base engine, PS, PB, PW, AC and A/T.
Went to instal the control linkage and neutral safety switch Rod (A7 on AIM M35 A1, and #7 on M35 A6 and "C rod" on M35 A7) but the orientation of the rad is different on A1 than it is on A6 or A7). The diagram in Noland Adams Book (pg 294) is similar to A6 in the AIM. So "confused I am. Does anyone know what the correct orientation is?
Thanks
Joe

Joe -

The rod as shown on sheets A6 and A7 is correct; sheet A1 is the "Contents Sheet" for the M35 section, and illustrations on contents sheets are frequently not representative of Engineering intent.
