RE: kickdown geniuses sought

Mr. Z,

As you have heard, it is very important that your kickdown is fully 
depressed at the same time that the throttle is wide open. However, you 
are not limited to using an overpriced cable.

In 2002, I swapped out my 2-bbl for an Edelbrock 4-bbl and a Weiand 
manifold. I did not use a kick down cable, but modified the existing 
linkage so that it works wonderfully and only cost me about an hour of 
work and less than $10 cash. This car is my daily driver 318 poly, '64 
Fury. It has been driven this way for just short of 70,000 miles with no 
problems. I do have a Lokar cable that I bought in case my "improved" 
linkage didn't pan out, but I will probably just use it when I swap out 
the poly some time down the road.

Don't give up on Mopars just yet. They are much better engineered than 
other cars of the same era.
