General rule of thumb is hold throttle wide open. adjust kick down rod till it only has a slight bit of play left at wide open throttle. And by the way it is called a kick down. Thats not chevy garble it's what is is



No , according to my 1969 FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL its called THROTTLE LINKAGE, section 21 pg 54. It is called KICKDOWN because it can cause the transmission to downshift when you open the throttle quickly.


doesn't the throttle linkage control the throttle and kick down linkage control the kickdown lever on the transmission?



I looked in the FSM , typed out all the terms used and what actuates what and then said screw it ... DELETE ... it's the kickdown linkage ...

more dumbing down of amerika as requested .
