good point, about throttle blades, I hadn,t considered that. I think I got it all figured out in there today. Happy to say my homemade kickdown seems to work and clears everything, moves smoothly, etc. But geez what a nightmare to make it, I hope I never have to do that again The car has headers and custom exhaust so factory kickdown would not clear. I love the early cudas , but the cramped engine compartment leaves much to be desired.
