Who knows what these are for???

Hello all,
While digging through misc. Parts I found in my project 70 Challenger RT looking for kickdown linkage, I came across these two pieces. I don't think they are for the kickdown. Can anyone educate me as to what they are?
Thanks

I will say, NO, they are not for the throttle pressure (kick down) linkage. But gosh, they look familiar. Let me thinks on it and do some digging. But I'm pretty confident they are not for any kick-down or throttle linkages for 1966-1974 E or B body cars. I've had to work out some details on no less than 3 different motor configurations, this year, with regard to throttle pressure, return springs, brackets, etc. So I'm feeling pretty good about what I think I know on this topic.

Looks like part of the steering column lock linkage.

Looks like part of the steering column lock linkage.

Ah ok. Very good, that is also removed so yes. That makes perfect sense.
Thank you

I agree with JP426. Looks like the rods fronm the steering column lock out linkage.

Column lock rear rod. I believe one of them is for floor shift and one for column shift.

Looks like the previous owner removed all that to install headers. Not sure if I can get it back together. I'm sure it has to be modified if I keep the headers.

I just installed mine; they look to be the lower rod and the column lock rear rod.

If interested here's an instruction sheet that came with my cheap $99 headers (from 1981). I've since gone back to manifolds and unmodified linkage.
