Weber Synchronus with stock Kickdown
I think I made a Weber 38/38 (ELECTRIC choke) work with the stock kickdown parts on a 68 Dart. I'm not really sure if the travel is set correctly, but the lever goes all the way forward and back as it's supposed to. I have an exhaust leak near the stove so I have to pop out this old exhaust manifold and install the new one I got - was trying to save time - mistake. I bought a kickdown cable, but am feeling like I don't want to convert if this works.
Basically, what I have is the kit to mount to a JEEP with a Carter BBD, so it fits on the Supersix manifold. The kit came with a connecting rod and a mount to operate the JEEP's kickdown. I mounted the throttle cable to it, as well as a rod that I took from a seat and bent to shape (will get something sturdier once I work out the shape). That rod goes down to the lever by the exhaust manifold and pushes up and down on it just as the rod on the Holley 1920 did.
The throttle cable needs a 1" spacer to move it off the kickdown assembly and get the cable more in line with the carb lever, and I'd say it's done. I even pulled the original heat coil, and reused the stock spring arm for a spring return.
Let me know your thoughts(besides why it's a purple intake). Kit was about $330.
