Assuming you don't have a part throttle kickdown setup you usually have to pretty much mat the pedal to get it to downshift.
Have an assistant hold the gas pedal to the floor for you. Crawl underneath and look at the TP lever on the tranny. Disconnect the cable and make sure that the lever has no motion left WOT. If there is any free motion left, adjust your cable. Check to make sure it doesn't bind/interfere with WOT afterwards.

I think my kickdown needs adjusted a little, It shifts up and down as it should when driving normally. But when you kick it down it doesn't seem like it shifts down to 1st or 2nd like it should. I have a lokar setup and its setup per instructions and has free range of movement. I'm wondering if my trans lever is the right one. The transmission is not original to the car.
First problem is your choice of aftermarket throttle pressure linkage .
The torqueflite isn't going to downshift into first till you are almost at, or till you come to, a complete stop, it's very hard on the overrunning clutch if it does.
