tranny kick down linkage...

I looked at the Bouchilin kickdown cable rig and for 140 bucks, I can make the same part from motorcycle/brake cables and get a new camshaft! Seriously, look at the instructions. It is a puller cable that goes from the bottom of the carb bellcrank (pulls as you open the throttle) and loops back to the rear of the trans and pulls the kickdown lever from the back. Its by no means a bolt on (check the directions out and put a new blade on your hacksaw) but the Lokar may be a bit better, but its still a puller. The proper kickdown lever design is great and can be made, but its easier to buy on Ebay, usually around 70 bucks model specific, and it IS a bolt on and doesnt require you to jerk around with the carb bellcrank and drill numerous holes. just my opinion. Oh yeah, 64-66 look completely different that the later years as there is very limited room in the back of the block. The top pivot is an S shaped rod on a bolt on pivot to the rear of the head, not on intake like most others, the down rod goes outboard of the block and the top rod should be slotted so the carb has some travel before it activates the kickdown, and it should be all the way back at the trans at full throttle. If not, you can unscrew the top rod slotted piece for adjustability. Good luck.
