Kickdown link?

[frank1966]

Hello,

Iam a little confused with the kickdown link. I don't know what I have or what iam missing. The bottom rod with the slider? I see some pics with a spring attached here. Mine does not stay on, falls off.

Everything there is wrong, the KD rod needs to be pushed from the top not pulled from the bottom. You need an Edelbrock 1481 throttle lever adapter and correct stud.

Thanks, What is the KD rod? I don't know what it is suppose to look like.

[John_Kunkel]

The slotted end that you have installed on the bottom of the lever is the KD rod.

Are the 2 cables correct?

[frank1966]

Iam also missing a spring?

[John_Kunkel]

The two cables (throttle and cruise) appear to be correct, just installed directly on the carb lever instead of on the correct adapter and stud. Look at the pics in the link I posted. In addition to the throttle return spring there must be a second spring to pull the linkage up against the throttle lever stud (#13 in the diagram below).

Thanks for that pic. I don't have that long pin to attach that spring. That arm with the slot and pin looks like it needs to be set all the back in the slot? Mine is just sitting there in the middle. Where in the world can I get a pin and a spring like that? It appears my arm with the slot is correct, just routed wrong to the carb.

Here is a link to the throttle studs.

Oh nice, everything it there! Springs, bracket, stud. Thanks!

Once you have all the correct parts, adjust the linkage the factory way.
