Trans Kickdown Linkage Guru Sought

Man that is some screwed up linkage. No wonder it doesn't work right. By how it looks to me it's amazing the throttle cable doesn't catch on the fast idle linkage or cam. Your kickdown is just a part of the problem and if you buy the Eddy adapter a couple guys say to buy how the heck would you ever get the throttle cable hooked up with the current mounting bracket it has that places the throttle cable so far inboard? IMO you need to take the whole mess off and throw it away cause every part looks like a mismatch and buy yourself Lokar throttle cable and kickdown cable kits and install them and be done with it. Here's what the Lokar stuff looks like

Ripping it all out and installing the Bouchillon cable kickdown is seeming more likely by the minute. I also have a Lokar throttle & kickdown setup, but the Bouchillon has useable instructions and includes a tranny lever that has a place for a return spring. The best use of my time right now seems to be adding the length to the rod and seeing what that does.

You don't need that adapter for the TQ...you need it for that generic linkage Eddy in the first pic 'cause it does not have Chrysler throttle linkage. The adapter moves the throttle cable stud and KD connection to the proper position (not just out) to function correctly. Has nothing to do with the carb spacer adapter.....

I realized that the picture you sent IS the Edy 1481. I got the one I bought years ago opened the package and read the instructions. They state that the 1481 is to be installed on the Eddy Performer Series carb as part of the prep to install the eddy carb with Chrysler linkage. Guess I'll put it with the Eddy carb for some future project or posterity, whichever comes first.

Th adventure continues....
