This allows the kickdown linkage to be compressed the right amount and the shifts to happen at higher points. The solution is to drill a new hole in the aftermarket arm that’s the same distance as the factory hole (like was done in the second photo). It has a turbo 350, and there is a kick down cable in the engine bay that the previous owner had just left hanging around. Part throttle acceleration isn’t much different than idle so the kickdown linkage with that outer hole position hasn’t moved to even where it would be at idle with the correct radius. Topless66 Discussion Starter I'm sorting out some little issues with a 66 that is new to me. If you set the kickdown linkage to almost bottom out at WOT it’s pulled MUCH farther forward when at idle, this is because of that larger radius. See that hole above where the throttle is actually hooked up? That’s the hole they give you. Here’s a typical Holley with the correct bracket they sell for Chrysler products. It’s designed to work with that throttle cable movement distance, ending with the kickdown linkage almost bottomed out. Inside the transmission the shift points move based on the compression of a spring between the kickdown valve and the throttle valve. View attachment 957712įiguring that the distance required to go from idle to WOT is related to the circumference of the circle it goes on, that 1.2” radius is proportional to that distance. In this first picture I’m showing a 1971 carter AVS and the distance from the throttle shaft to the Cable and linkage attachment point.
