Hey guys, welcome back to our channel where we document our car restoration project! In this episode, we're tackling some important issues with our throttle and kickdown linkages.
We start off by connecting our throttle linkage with a part from Edelbrock. The part number is 8009 - 1977 & Later Chevrolet throttle lever adapter. This goes pretty smoothly and we are using a modified throttle linkage piece on the intake manifold.
Here is a kit from Amazon that fits most applications - amzn.to/40LGquB
Next, we move on to our kickdown linkage. This component is responsible for downshifting the transmission when you need to accelerate quickly, and we cut out kickdown wire so now we have to fix it lol. After some investigation, we came up with a plan by using some cable stops:
Large screw-in cable stops - amzn.to/3mid9sz
Aluminum cable stops - amzn.to/3ZPsIp7
We demonstrate how to realign it to ensure that the kickdown function works as it should.
Throughout the video, we share tips and tricks that we've learned along the way and offer some insights into the importance of maintaining these critical components in your car.
So if you're working on a similar project, or want to learn more about car maintenance, be sure to tune in, and don't forget to like and subscribe!
