Will not KICKDOWN (340 6 PAK, 727)

Take up the slack in the throttle cable first. I don't think you're getting full throttle?

That's what I thought and is why I told him to do that check first. I wonder if that throttle cable mounting bracket is correct?? I haven't looked at a 6 pack setup very close but you'd think it'd have the cable mounted much higher up and more straight inline so it pulls straighter, not down at an angle.
