Driving without throttle linkage

I know this is not advisable, I’m not planning on doing this long term, it’s a stop gap.

The two barrel 225/904 combo in a car I bought didn’t come with any of the throttle linkages. I am going to either have to fabricate something or find replacement parts, one of which I’ll get to eventually.

In the meantime, I want to drive the car for just a few short drives this summer, to a local meet, my friends shop, etc.

Can I get away with wiring the throttle lever back on the transmission temporarily, either the whole way or half way, again just for now, definitely will not be a permanent solution.

The transmission was rebuilt with a stage 2 shift kit, hasn’t been driven.

How much damage can be done?
Driving without the kickdown linkage will damage the transmission so why do it? Just get an aftermarket cable setup like a Lokar and do it right. Impressing your friends could come at a high cost of a transmission rebuild. Your call.
