Kickdown problems

[lee]

Hi I have been experiencing no kickdown I recently put in a 1978 440 beefed up and a set of 3.55 gears in my 68 charger with a 727 auto tranny orignal and it doesn't shift properly I am running a edelbrock 800 cfm carb and the old linkage was some kind of wierd rod so I put in linkage out of a late 70s dodge half ton does someone out there maybe have some insight to what I am doing wrong thanks

Was the half ton a 4 bbl carb to start with? a 2bbl linkage probably won't work because of it's length and the inability to get the correct adjustment.  Proper adjustment is your first step here.
One of these threads should help you.

You need the correct Mopar throttle lever extension (Edelbrock #1481) on that Edelbrock carb.
