Anyone else out there have trouble with attaining wide open throttle with the Bouchillon kick down kit installed? With the kit installed per the instructions I was only able to get approx 3/4 wide open.
Ended up having to shim down the rear of the Bouchillon bracket for the cable to over come and go wide open. I now have it approx 90% but still not full wide open. Just curious if any else has come across this and if they had suggestions. Kit is installed on a Holley 4150 that's on top of a Victor W2.
Thanks

Not to sidetrack your thread or anything. But I have a question for anyone that has this or any other brand of kickdown cable setup.
Did it make any change to the way your gas pedal feels? Like easier to push the go pedal without all that heavy metal linkage between the carb and the tranny? My pedal is pretty stiff feeling and would like to lighten it up some. I didn't notice a big difference.

as said by CNXT the trans cable bracket needs to slide back & there is a button spring loaded release just behind where the cable snaps into the bracket it is on the carb side in your picture,so you can adjust the distance,right now your cable is push all the way back in the adjuster.

Thanks for the info, I'll try moving it back. With the trans cable where it is it seems that the trans is working correctly, how will moving the trans bracket back affect the throttle?
Thanks

I could try and take a picture of mine on Saturday if that would help. Mine works good where it is set.
