On the carb end of things I saw what another member did to use a factory kickdown cable and made something very similar to theirs including how it was mounted with the steel angle. As far as the fthow, I had the throttle body from the junk dakota I bought for the transmission and wanted to make sure where I was hooking up the cable on the edelbrock would have the same throw. The nice thing about this setup is if you change intakes or add a spacer, the throttle and kickdown are unaffected since they are bolted down with the carb. Plus I think it looks pretty tidy.
