Verify first, but this should be the kit.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Scott-Drake-C6OZ-7A187-KIT-Mustang-Transmission-Kick-Down-Kit-1966-68-/382477475099?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10#viTabs_0   Seller ships worldwide. That Drake number cross-references to Fairlane, also.

Heo, my kickdown cable connects on one end to the kickdown lever on the C4, the other end to a special lever on the accel pedal linkage (not to the bellcrank connected to the intake).  Bruce

Been a while since I had a slushbox Fairlane/Comet but isn't the kickdown activated by a paddle with a short cable that bolts to the side if the bellhousing area? The paddle gets moved by another paddle that goes down from the throttle pedal arm just after it bends out of the hole in the firewall?

Heo, glad to hear you got it figured out.  Would be hard to take pics of that setup, as it's a little hidden!  Btw my car is mainly stock except for the SBF stroker if you have further questions. Haha
