I'm starting to get ready to gather parts for my 5.7 swap into my 68 Dart. I've got a car engine with the electronic throttle body. What have you guys done as far as the kickdown goes? Do I have any choice other than a manual valve body? Thanks!

Mopar used a solution on the early Ram trucks (manual pedal to drive by wire) that can be used for KD.

I have a Holly HP with a cable operated BBK TB. I have seen a few dudes actually modify an electronic TB for a shaft with a cable, do a search for that.
