Could someone post a pic of how the foot starter rod is supposed to attach to the starter/linkage?

Yep, that would be how it goes. Your push rod comes down and out of the body and connects to the drive engagement lever.

Not what I wanted to hear.  >:(

Mine has a rod through the firewall, down to a linkage that runs on top of the trans, over to another lever that pushes on the starter.

So... Where is it supposed to come through the firewall ?

Right beside my hole, where that spot has been patched ?

Someone has tried to adapt the utility vehicle type linkage onto your CJ-3A. On a stock CJ-3A the pushrod pedal attaches directly to the starter.

Mine is right near the bottom of the parking brake brace that you can see in your picture. Looks like bubba did something to yours. I know there is a later version of this linkage. I'm not sure what it looks like.

Bob posted the same time I did. He is right. Disregard what I said about the other version.

Are you using photobucket? It looks like you are using the thumbnail links instead of the regular img links.
