70 6 pack kickdown woes - 06/10/15 08:04 PM
Hi guys!
So I finally have come to the point where my resto is almost done. I've worked real hard on it this last week and it's really paid off!
I went to go put the kickdown rod on the carb, and for some reason even with it adjusted all the way back it is very tight. When I pull back the throttle, it only gets half throttle when the kickdown arm is hooked up, when it's off everything works fluidly.
My car is an original 6 pack car, and from my knowledge, has never had a single 4 bbl on it. I don't see a reason why someone would have swapped the kickdown rod on it.
I was wondering if someone could post a couple pictures or provide measurements of an original bell crank to carb kickdown rod for me so I can compare it to the one that I have.
In the event that the rod is incorrect, does anyone know where I can obtain just that piece, every vendor that I see sells them as an entire kit.
Thanks!
