Ld4b early edition manifold

Yea I know the throttle is funky, I need to pretty much cut my bracket and raise it up to get the straight back pull from the throttle cable or maybe just get a lokar one that mount off the carb. As for the kickdown what is wrong with its location? It's is almost parallel and I do need to adjust it once she running again. That will mean running, see how it shifts threw the gears twist out on the linkage to space them out etc...unless I'm missing something with the you guys saw...
