Does anyone has a few pictures of how the Kick Down Cable, Throttle Linkage and Coil are placed on the motor. This is going on a 67 bird 400. Where can I find the correct brackets to hold these pieces in place? Will I need to go to a cable setup for the kick down cable to work? Any help would be great, Thanks Joe
I have a few shots here: Original 67 Pix (Then look at the next few shots..)
But I don't think these show the kick down. I have a 67 also, with the stock Rod Arm linkage, and have a TH400 and have not as of yet installed the electric kick down switch. (for the TH350 I believe it's a cable set up)
But for now maybe these linkage pix will help a little? I hope?
There is a bracket that bolts to the rear 2 carb studs and sits above the base of the carb (not in the photo). The electric kickdown switch mounts to it so when the linkage opens up to almost WOT, it connects with the button on the kickdown switch.
I can't remember if the kickdown wire comes off the wire harness that runs across the top of the firewall or whether it goes directly to the transmission.

I believe the ST 300 and TH400 have the electric switch, and the TH350 has the kick down cable...
But for the most part, I think Mark is right about the extra bracket, and then the cable just attches to the linkage itself... but that bracket would mount to the carb base and then hold the cable in place... similar idea...
