KICKDOWN For cable? Please help!

I have a Lokar cable attached to the proper bracket at the carb base, it's underneath the 750 vacuum on top of a Holley strip dominator Trans is a 727 i cannot tighten it up where I get full line pressure. The kickdown lever may or may not have come stock with the transmission it's a 1984 Dodge b200 van unit. Car is a 74 Duster. The lever that is on there above the shift shaft is approximately 2" on center. Bends up where the end where the original hole is in it. I don't want to tear up my transmission I would appreciate it if any of y'all can help
