Installation Instructions

Step 8: Insert the inner wire all the way into the

transmission cable end assembly and

tighten the set screw using the provided

3/32" Allen wrench. Then thread the inner

wire up through the cable housing to the

carburetor.

Step 9: Before connecting the kickdown cable to

the carburetor, make sure that the throttle

linkage is properly adjusted. Verify at the

carburetor that the throttle is wide open

while you have a helper hold the accelera-

tor pedal to the floor. Once you are sure

that the throttle linkage is adjusted cor-

rectly, slide the kickdown throttle body

fitting onto the kickdown cable inner wire,

and connect the kickdown throttle body

fitting to the hex carb fitting.

Step 10: This step will also be much easier with

a helper. Slide the kickdown cable end

stop onto the inner wire. Move the throt-

tle to wide open and hold it there while

pulling the kickdown inner wire as tight

as possible. Slide the cable end stop up

against the kickdown throttle body fit-

ting and tighten the set screw using the

supplied 5/64" Allen wrench. Release

the throttle.

When the kickdown cable is properly

adjusted you should be able to open

the throttle to the wide open position

without interference from the kickdown

cable; and with the throttle wide open,

you should not have any slack in the

kickdown cable. The kickdown cable

also should not prevent the throttle from

returning to the fully closed position.

Double check to be sure that all car-

buretor, throttle and kickdown linkage

operates freely without binding, then

test drive. Once the kickdown cable is

correctly adjusted and operating properly

you can cut off the excess inner wire,

leaving about 1/2" extending beyond the

cable end stop to allow for future adjust-

ment if needed.

Final installation should look like
