Small block question

Thank you for all of that input! It has 17’s all around and looks good. But the 295-50’s would bite the road nicely! I’ve driven it less than a mile and it ***** and gets!!! I couldn’t be happier with the purchase but like I said it needs a little love and that’s why I’m reaching out, thanks again!

The thing your kick down is connected to is the throttle stud. The kick down should be connected to it on the outside, and the throttle cable connected to the part on the inside (next to the carb where your kickdown is connected now). It looks like something is put in the slot of the kickdown - That is probably because the kick down is still one for the original 318 two barrel and was never corrected when converted to a 4 barrel - it's too short. Edelbrock makes a piece that goes between the two sections of the kickdown rod to correct for that.

Here is a picture of a correctly situated linkage:

Appreciate that! I think after a bit of fine tuning it be where it should. You guys are awesome with sharing knowledge! It’s definitely not falling on def ears! She runs good and sounds good but getting everything correct I think it will represent the brand just fine
