Throttle linkage, kickdown questions

[4spdragtop]

First off thanks to everyone for their help! I had added these questions to my carb questions, but I thought I would post it here as well to hopefully get more replies. Sorry for the crummy pics, I will try and get better ones today. If you compare the linkage on dads 67 to the linkage pics in the service manual, it shows a different bracket. I know the bracket we have is correct, but have I got the linkages mixed up?? I know we need the Eddy #1481 linkage adapter. Im picking that up today. Everything is stock except for the Eddy 1405 carb. Car is 67 with 273 and 904 console shift.

Thanks

Steve, if you are talking about the throttle cable bracket, the one in the service manual is showing a 2 barrel in the top pic. i cant see the one you have from the side, but it just looks like the throttle cable hold down is just bent over 90* for the 2 barrel and yours is standing straight up. its kind of hard to tell from the pics....

 

[4spdragtop]

Your right Lance, I never noticed the 2bbl from the service manual pics. Dads is a 4bbl and Im not sure if we mounted the kickdown to the wrong side(pointed to the inside as opposed to the outside)

Steve ,i have the same exact set-up as shown in your top pic on my 67 2 barrel 318 with the same kickdown linkage. i just put an edelbrock 4 barrel intake and carb on it , i havent hooked up the linkage yet, but i am going to attempt to use all the same hardware that was on my 2 barrel. when i did this to my 360, i was able to make it work by bending the hold down straight up like yours is. hopefully this will work with the 318. i will post up some pics if i am able to make it work. please post up some pics if you get this worked out before i do.

10-4 Lance, I will get better pics today!

Thanks

Ok got the Eddy 1481 adapter for dads carb(eddy 1405) and it made a difference. I dunno if it is correct or not, but looks like it. although the kickdown looks like it engages at idle.....there is 2 adjustments that can be set later. Hope these pics help someone. By the way engine is stock 273 4bbl with 904 and Eddy 1405 carb and 1481 adapter.

I like your pics 4spdragtop, I'm working on mine too & pics do help, I got mine setup, drives good, but not getting full Throttle!

hears some pics!

 

[4spdragtop]

Thanks, I should taken better pics of the 1481 adapter, but yours show it good though! I wonder if there is any slack in your throttle cable causing you too not get full throttle??

 

[hoop]

The throttle cable seems too long to me, I'm goin to tray adjusten on it some more later!

 

[4spdragtop]

Can you slide the cable back in the bracket further??

i was able to get everything hooked up and working using all the 2 barrel stuff and no chrysler linkage adaptor. all i had to do was make the kickdown rod longer . pics suck and i still have to clean the parts. i wanted to get it all mocked up first. i have new valve covers and an air cleaner to put on yet

Nice job Lance, looks great! FYI, your kickdown looks straight, mine has a bend in it...Lori likes it like that!! LOL

All....this is correct '67 273 4bbl throttle bracket/kickdown (pressure) linkage....

65, is that little tab the kickdown spring is attatched to the intake or the kickdown rod itself?

 

[oldkimmer]

..........its made on the rod............kim.........

That little tab is factory and welded to the kickdown rod. The spring attaches to it and then to the throttle rod. We hope to have it fired up within a week! Thanks for the kind words bud!!

65Val, Thanks for the great photo. I was always confused by the spring pulling back on the throttle stud in other's photos (who would want "throttle assist"?), but you clearly show it serves to pull the kickdown rod forward. On other cars (later years or maybe BB), the kickdown rod has a small hole at the front where a spring attaches to pull it forward, grounded at throttle spring bracket. I got the linkage off an 80's 318 4 bbl to use when I change to a 4 bbl carb.

yep, I worked with it some more & thats what I done, just likes a little bit now haveing full throttle, it wont go back no more because it would not hold in thear if I put it back any more.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but does anyone have a part number for the stud that the springs, throttle and linkage connect to? I already have the 1481, I just need the stud that goes on it.
thanks

Dont be sorry. I would rather see old threads being revived, than a new thread get started asking the same question that has been asked before. Although the search function here leaves a little to be desired. Sorry Im not much help with the part #. My adobe doesnt work on my computer for some reason. Its decided to take a crap. Take a look at this link and download a manual for your car

Yes! My car came with a Holley from the PO. I'm starting to think that the stud I need came from a two barrel? Where can I get one? Store maybe?
Thanks
