727 lokar kickdown cable installation help needed.

Can you take well lit clear pictures of at the carb and at the trans showing how it all is installed? Try holding your phone further away and zooming as needed, might be clearer. (Usually works for me)

I’ll take a guess that the bracket you have mounted on the carb mounting studs is not compatible with the Holley. It’s positioning the outer cable end too far back. So you either need a longer inner wire or the mount needs to be moved up some, or simply fab something that works (which is what I did when I ran one)

You could also remove the inner wire and then cut the outer cable back enough so it then gives you the extra length inner wire reach you need to connect to the stud. As long as the cable radius as it loops around at the back of the trans isn’t too tight that will work as well. There’s a few ways people might look at the situation:

1) You shouldn’t have to do all this for supposedly a bolt-on high dollar item. Return it get something else.
2) Nothing ever fits bolt-on. It’s junk, return it get something else.
3) Easy fix. Just modify it to make it work and move on.

I’d take the easy fix route,
