I can't remeber where I was it, but there is a universal kickdown for a turbo 400. I think it was by Lokar? Anyone remember and have a link? Thanks

Yeah, I have one....still in the box. Just haven't taken the time to install it. Need to, just haven't.

It's a nice item. I picked mine up at a rod shop, for $50, about three years ago.

Procrastinate? Who, me??

If it wasn't for the small, black modulator, I wouldn't have any kick-down, at all. I'd probably get better mileage, or maybe not. I'd be kickin' down into first, instead of second, at corners.

Well I look at it this way. If I am already turning 4krpm @ 75mph on the freeway and I want to pass somebody do I realy want to slam it into first gear???? Or at least that is how I delude myself itto believing that I didn't reinstall that switch on my new carb/manifold for a good reason. Thats what it is all about anyway, Self delution.
