727 Not Engaging Gears

Hey guys, thanks for the input so far. I had a long day yesterday in the heat and wasn't thinking 100% clearly.

I updated the title. The transmission is not stuck in park, I have updated the title. I forgot that I was able to go from park to neutral to roll the car back and forth (the 110° weather make my brain no work).

So here it is: The linkage to shift gears is indeed connected and I can shift through the gears with the column lever. I can put the trans in park and it will stay parked and will not roll. I can move the trans to neutral which will allow me to roll the car back and forth. However, when the car is running and I put it in R, D, 2, 1 the gears do not engage.

Thinking about it some more I was wondering if this might be related to the kick-down lever. I have the Lokar cable for the kick-down and the throttle. I am guessing the kick-down is not set up quite right yet. If this lever is not in the correct position at idle would the trans not shift into gear?
