Mine surely uses no throttle pressure linkage, keeps engine bay cleaned up.

I don't know why it worked....but it did. I drove my car for 10,000 miles without any problems, without that hooked up. never got it to work right, always shifted way too early no matter how I hooked it up. I ultimatly just drove it like a manual valve body and would control the shifts by manually shifting from 1, 2, D, while driving.





Another classic example of the difference between doing it wrong and getting away with it and doing it right. Some people are just luckier than others.




When I first got into mopars.....at 16 I didn't know any better and burned up two 904s by not having the kickdown on. Even wired half way open and shifting it manually my little 273 ate 2nd gear after about 200 miles in my Valiant. I guess some people get lucky but I'm not trying it again




The exact same thing happened 2 me back in the 80s when i got into Mopars, burned 2nd. gear in a 904, then burned 2nd. gear in a 727, I learned my lesson, still raced it alot on the streets, went from 1st. too 3rd & still won alot, Top end on that 340 was great, at one time i push it to about 130 then backed out.

Thx for the reply, I guess my MVB doesn't need the linkage, been driving it without for 10yrs. Hope I'm not just 1 of the lucky ones.

Your not, You no longer need the KD with a MVB, the line pressure stay around 200 at all time, so don't sweat it, your good.
