Will this kickdown work in my 78’ Blazer 350/350 edlebrock carb?
Of not or if a better one is recommended?

What bothers me is the 1976-86.
76 to 81 was a 350, 82 and up was 7004r and 200r4 in cars, and I believe they are different.
I will check tomorrow and compare them.
I have both in my stash

Do you have an edlebrock quadrajet or 1406 thing?

What does your throttle arm look like?

 

[TJ1978]

It says its good for the th350. Those Lokar kickdowns and dipstick tubes are ridiculously overpriced.

Any recommendations?
Do you need a picture of my carb kickdown bracket?

 

[TJ1978]

There is this one

That should work

 

[TJ1978]

That should work

Which one?

 

[Greg Ducato]

ATP Y-100

 

[TJ1978]

Ok how do I remove his from the carb hold down?

 

[Greg Ducato]

Push those two expanded ears together at the bracket and push the cable housing back towards the firewall after you have slipped the cable end off of the carb stud.

 

[TJ1978]

Ok... now how do I get to connevct to the carb? I cant pull it anymore forward?

 

[Greg Ducato]

If there is not sufficient adjustment in the cable housing you will either need a bracket that is closer to the carb or a longer cable. Once you change one thing pretty much everything else has to be changed along with it to play nice together.

 

[Greg Ducato]

If you are in a pinch and still have the old cable you can cut the end off and use it as an extender by overlaying it to your new cable and using bolts and washers to hold it together. It may not look spiffy but it will get it done.

 

[TJ1978]

Ok its on.... this thing adjusts... doh... please bare with me. Im still a bit green on this stuff...
Hahahaha

Good you figured out the adjustment

Would you advise to attach kick to tranny first, then get tranny installed then connect to Kickdown to the bracket on the motor? Gettting the kick off was difficult with the tranny in, weird angles and just awkward...

 

[Wes Harden]

Yes, just be mindful of where the cable is when mating the bellhousing to engine. You may want fish it through to near where it needs to be when you get the trans close

 

[TJ1978]

Yeah, will do.
