Working on a 1974 Dart with a 318, auto. Someone put a Summit 4v intake and Edelbrock carb, but okie rigged the cable setup, and no kickdown installed. This video is amazing for giving me ideas to fix it without having to source hard to find, and expensive parts, thank you!

I think you just saved my 76 cordoba thanks, I change the moter and transmission and I also disassembled the moter to clean it and change rod bearings and such. Who knew the linkage would be what stumped me

Answered my problem. 81 RC with 360. Took off the old wore out carb and threw on a older Holley 600. Didn’t want to pay for fancy Lokar cables so glad I found your page and will be following.

You the MAN! I'm going to a 4 barra on my 318 D150, and this helps tremendously! My goal is to spend the least amount possible on it to try and get it into the 13's at high altitude.

Very informative thanx, so many car forum gurus say this can't be done easily. Stating that using 2bbl kickdown linkage on a 4 bbl application requires complex fabrication, so yall just better buy Lokar cable kits. I'm not saying those kits may not be very good too. But this conversion don't look to difficult from where I'm sitting...lol
@318willrun3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! Yes, I've done this more than I care to remember.. LOL. Common sense and make sure nothing sticks or binds and it works flawlessly. Even now both of my Duster and our Drag Truck are using the 2bbl linkage on 4bbls.

I guess complex fabrication is a stud with a bunch of nuts on it if this is complex for someone I don't think they should be working on cars

@318willrun2 ай бұрын
some move at the carburetor, some at the pivot by the back of the intake, some by the linkage underneath. But they always adjust.

What's the bolt on the kickdown rod do .thanks
@318willrun4 жыл бұрын
pushes the kickdown all the way back. Not enough threads to lengthen it to what I needed, so the bolt eats up the slack.
@mikehannahs2 жыл бұрын
I did a four barrel intake and edelbrock carb on my 318, the kick down linkage bracket doesn’t even come close to being activated by the throttle, can I just make another one and drill two holes one on each end at the appropriate length to make it work? Or does it have to be able to slide? I can do what you did with the bolts if needed
@318willrun2 жыл бұрын
You can try just drilling two holes, but you'll want some form of adjustment I'd think. Main thing is that it has ZERO chance of pinning the throttle wide open. Other than that, I'm all about creating and making it work !
@mikehannahs2 жыл бұрын
What I figured I’d do was make the holes just big enough that there is a little play to hopefully avoid sticking throttle, I just didn’t know if it had to be able to slide back-and-forth but I can’t see a reason myself why my idea won’t work, I’ll give it a shot and see how it turns out, I love being creative, it’s helped me a lot
