I had same problem with the AMES replacement lockout rod in that barely fit but caused the linkage to bind. I found an original rod in my parts bin. The Ames rod is off several degrees from fitting properly.Not sure you can bend it to fit unless you heat it up with a torch.

They requested I send them a bunch of pictures of the rod with different angles, which I did. Just waiting to hear back from them. Just hope they are not comparing mine with other ones they have in stock, because they all could be wrong at this point. |

No, I never returned the part as I could use it later after I tweek it if need be. Shipping is half the cost of the part now a days anyway! I did compare them side by side, never took a pic, but saw the Ames was off several degrees. Not as bad that it would not install, but my linkage may be worn more that yours.

69 Fb reverse lock out
The reverse lockout rod from Ames for the 69 Firebird is wrong but if you work it with vice and go up and down underneath the car about 12 times you should be able to get it to work we did with ours
