Help me find a part

I've just ordered my new transmission and the shop won't warranty it unless the kickdown cable is hooked up.

That means I need your help finding a kickdown (detent) cable bracket for an inline 6 250.... all stock for now. I think it's a mid 70's block with the separate head and intake manifold. if someone knows where a supplier has one for sale that would be great!

Thanks!

Re: Help me find a part

I would call a local wrecking yard that keeps some older trucks - they should be able to fix you right up.
That kick down cable also helps to control the fluid pressure in the case - important on a T350, critical on 700R4 and other over drive trannys.

The shop should be able to sell you a universal kick down cable kit available from thier transmission parts supply house.

Re: Help me find a part

I did find one that I'm bidding on, but we'll see how that goes.

All of the boneyards around here seem to be stripped of anything in the engine bay.

I'll try more of the aftermarket suppliers... so far all of the ones I see are for 4bbl carbs or v-8's

Won't go to the dealer for anything...

Plus I know I can find it used.... I don't need some fancy shiny bracket, just one that does the job.
