kick down linkage setup on carb stud

[darc1722]

How much space between the kick down linkage and the carburator stud that engages it, when you step on the gas. Should the stud be against the back of the opening or should there be a little room before it activates the kickdown on the transmission. Can someone post a picture of how it should look? thanks

I do mine on the tranny, when floored tranny lever should be all the all the way back. I don't even know if this is right, but seems to work.

wide open throttle wide open tranny but make sure just enough that it doesn't hinder throttle.

At idle, the slide link should be fully forward, held there by a spring setup. Functioning setup is as has been setout in above posts.

This pic is Big Block, but you sb should look similar....

Make sure that no linkage or carb stud can get hung up
