Suppose it all depends on your defination of doing the job.
:lol:
The first one pictured will hold the link against the throttle, so sure it will get you by...
The second one pictured helps add more throttle, if that's the goal, but it shouldn't be.
Puff, puff, give. I want some of that stuff.
Jesus Christ, it does not matter. The only thing that matters is the kickdown linkage is pressed up against the throttle bolt stem at idle and stays there at all times. You’re not sending a man to the planet Pluto for the first time. Either way works, just as effectively. In both instances. All the springs are doing is maintaining tension against the stem. Neither, is better than the other. Both ways are accomplishing the same exact feat. The engine idles properly, the transmission shifts properly, the tranny kicks down properly. Why argue or discredit that your way, is the only way ? I know, I know. That’s the way it came from the factory type of guy. Some linkages don’t have the tabs tack welded to the sides of the rods. Therefore, with these types of rods. They have to be sprung the other way. Grow up and realize the 2 differences.
