tranny kick down linkage...

Yeah, I'm running an Edelbrock 4 barrel, so I don't think the stock linkage would work (without some backwoods engineering). It sounds like a Lokar set-up is the way to go. As far as the plug wires, can I fab a little bracket that prevents the wires from touching? Would that solve the issue, or should I just "let 'em hang"? THANKS!

Your right it won't work on the Edelbrock but the Lokar or Bouchillion cable setup will work. Yes you can fab something to keep the plug wires separated, or buy some wire separators from Summit, Jegs, or a local speed shop if you have one. They only cost a couple bucks.
