NinjaWa Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I bought the Z with the 350 in already and not really familiar with the motor, so I was wondering can somebody tell me where this goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhm Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 After selecting an appropriate connection point on the carb linkage, the kickdown cable can be adjusted to your individual driving style and performance needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhm Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 For what it's worth, when I had a TH350 in my car, I had the kickdown cable connected to the carb linkage on the lower mounting point (where your throttle return spring is currently hooked to.) If you decide to use this mounting point, you can actually rehook your return spring(s) to the kickdown cable if you want. Attached is an old pic of my engine bay, and if you zoom the photo, you can see how the cable is hooked up. Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Be very careful when you are messing with throttle linkage. Many years ago before I knew any better, I built a flimsy bracket to hold a overdrive kick down switch. Took the car out for a test drive, went full throttle real quick stop light to stop light, let off the pedal, car kept pulling. You guessed it, my silly little bracket had bent and trapped the throttle wide open. Nearly soiled my pants. Im just saying, be careful. I wouldn't want you to ruin a pair of perfectly good pants.
