Well, what 57larry means, is that the TH350 kickback connection/cable is only for downshifting when you hit the gas and go into WOT, say when you go to pass someone at cruising speed. One could, if they wanted, not have it and manually downshift.

It's not like a TV Cable for a 700r4, where that cable connection is a requirement to have connected for proper operation of your transmision. I also believe a TV Cable connection is a bit more complex too (must have correct geometry).

With that all said, I am not looking to have it removed - only to be able to push US Carb to understand the Carb they sent me is for a manual.

Far as I can tell, the 7042208 is for my 72 C10 TH350 and it is listed as automatic (A/T) on a data sheet I found. So I am pretty sure they sent me the wrong one or some other person has changed the linkage. See attached, the 2nd Carb is what the PO installed and is in my 1st photo.
