Th350 Kickdown Cable Linkage problem

[bhammer]

Anyone have pictures of their TH350 Kickdown cable linking up to an Edelbrock Performer series carb? The truck I bought has the cable just resting on top of the motor, it appears to be missing the bracket that hooks it up to the throttle linkage. I cannot find anyone who can tell me what is missing and what I need, several mechanics just say, "uh looks like it needs a bracket" and nothing else. Edelbrock has a bunch of them on their website but not sure which one I need.... Anyone?

Thanks,

There are several ways to mount the detent cable. You can use an oem intake bracket like the Holley 20-45, the Lokar KDB-4350 or find one on Ebay or maybe even the GM dealer. Or use the style that bolts to the carb like the Edelbrock 8030 or 8036. I think Spectre and Mr. Gasket make that style, too. The carb mounted ones usually include a throttle cable hole, too, so you can mount your throttle cable (if you have one) to the top square hole and your detent cable to the bigger bottom square hole.

I posted these a couple of years ago for another reason but I think it shows the kick-down cable ok. The cable is off my dearly departed 1971 Monte Carlo. The bracket is a generic piece I bought from Edelbrock. I'm using the throttle cable hole for my aftermarket cruise control since I have a throttle rod. The kickdown is in its square hole. I hope it helps.

Looks like the Edelbrock 8036 bracket in gold zinc.
