Reading up on the holley site about my carburetor states not to use my model for a automatic overdrive transmission. I thought I would defer to the masses and ask why or why not. Seeing as I am using the vacuum system why would the carb have any issue with the linkage?


I don't even have 1/2 lift, but the other 1/2 is nitroused.

You still have to have a mechanical kickdown linkage.

Thanks for the reply. Are they compatible, or is Holley covering their butt?

I am using Road Demon Jr with the A518. No problems, you will need a mechanical kickdown of some sort.

You will probably want the Holley lever arm extension.

Then you can use any of:

> The stock KD linkage (may need mods, more dependent on manifold)

> The Bouchillon KD cable kit (sweet!)

> The Lokar cable KD kit.

These are the brackets I have. The chrysler arm adapter is loosely installed.
