BAD MECHANICS - Thermostat and Radiator Fan Blade

SOOOO! You so-called experts!
Beating me up about the need for the kickdown linkage or "DEATH" to my transmission!
(And, I'm sure you still will find your reasons to kick me anyway.)

What I am guilty of as a rookie, is mistaking the kickdown rod for the throttle cable behind it on my Edelbrock Carb..
And, I had posted plenty of pictures that some of you guys should have caught this!

A guy working on my brakes and painting the engine bay says..."you've already got a kickdown cabe. And the original ones work fine!
The picture that I posted, I attach with an arrow to the kickdown rod.
Yellow arrow = kickdown; Green arrow = throttle cable.

Knowing that I was being confused by some of the posts on this...I FOUND A GREAT BASIC EXPLANATION OF KICKDOWN MECHANISMS on the web.
I include the link here....
