If you have any type of service manual with a V8 in it that hasa 727 section .. that should give you the basics on how to put-it together.

The tech archives has pics of several different setups:

if you are not interested in the original linkage and pains, lokar has a throttle kick down cable set up that has worked great on my 440 68 dart and is very simple to install with great throttle response.
good luck, send me your e-mail and i can send you pics of my set up if you like.

Doubt it . Chilton manuals were a waste of a good tree.

Make it easy on yourself and run a Bouchilon cable setup, then you won't have to worry about it hitting the bulkhead connector or the fact that it's not setup correctly for a mopar.

here is a pic for a small block out of a chilton manual ( imagine that). like already stated if your not worried about original then just go cable. to me its a lot cleaner and easier. i always use the lokar set up and have never had any issues with it. always worked flawlessly on all my big block or small block abodies.



It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
