kick down cable for 700R4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71Rat · 04-13-2004, 04:15 PM

Is anyone running a holley double pumper with a 700R4? i have to figure out a way to mount my kick down cable and not have the trans eat itself apart. I was talking to my Trans teacher and he said i have to find out the throw of a stock arm and make something that will pull the cable the same length. I am hopeing someone can help me

Thanks

Bowtie overdrives has a kit for all carbs. Thats a TV cable not a kickdown.

thats what i ment "TV" sorry....

Yeah I just saw that kit and it is $109, just wondering if someone knew of a way to do it cheaper?

Thanks

depending on the model# off your carb holley has a number of cable brackets available for their carbs in the $20 range check out their web sit or a dealer near you

71Rat,
If you want to try to figure out your own bracket geometry, there are some good sketches and instructions at this link.

The Bowtie Overdrives kit is well worth the money. Not only does it provide the correct "throw" for the cable, but it also allows you to adjust the "feel" of the shifting from aggressive to mild. It's money well spent IMO.

anyone use some of those holley type brackets? i am looking at their throttle cable hold down and tv cable bracket......... The bowtie overdrive looks nice, but i am looking at all my options first thought... thanks slammed67 for the words of advise

I used GM parts. TV cable p/n 2515598 and cable bracket p/n 22504927. Less than 20.00 each. bracket mounts to back two carb bolts and has hole for throttle cable also.
