Re: B body drivetrain into A body

[Stevan Miner <miner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently installed Bouchillon Performance cable operated kickdown linkage 
and it not only fits great, it operates perfectly. I would definitely 
recommend their carburetor mounting bracket which simplifies the 
installation greatly. I installed their kit on a 65 big block Satellite.
