Holley kit for hooking up kickdown properly, has a spring and other little pieces???

[digmy76]

I was told by Holley that I needed this certain kit to have proper usage of my kickdown when using the TA carb. I now have the kit, but I'll be darned if I know how it goes on. Part of it I have figured out, but the clip and the spring and the screw......I don't know where they go. Pics and description of what to do would be great. Thanks.

Anybody?? Help please, I want to drive it!!

Going by memory....The clip fits in front of the throttle levers with the spring going back. I'm not sure, though. Give me a call at 661-822-1105 this evening (California time) and I'll have a look at my various cars' setups on the wireless phone. If your phone is blocked for caller ID, leave a message as I won't answer blocked calls until I know it's not a sales call. Before that, try the Holley site. Really good stuff, there!

Am I crazy here. I have a C4, Holley TA. Since I have owned the truck it has not had a rod for kick down. Is there a vacuum operated kickdown because I do have a vacuum line that goes down there. Either way it drives nice and shifts good. Not tranny savy. ?:?

 

[TJK74]

That is just the shift modulator. it controls the shift point of the tranny during acceleration. You should have a kickdown unless you have a manual valve body.

Digmy if you are still looking for info. The clip goes on as per the carbureator instructions. The screw goes in through the clip with the head facing towards the Front (going from memory here). If you need more info drop me a line. I just did the exact same installation.

Thanks for the pic. I called holley and I think I have it fixed now. The kickdown seems to be pulling the lever pretty far back though. TJK74 Did you add an extension to your kickdown. If so, how did you do it? How do you know how long to make it? Thanks

 

[TJK74]

The extension piece you see was part of the kickdown kit i got from holley. It just simply bolted on. I think its about 2" or so if you need some more detailed pics let me know.

Crap, is my memory bad. The kickdown on my Cougar is TOTALLY different. I plan on installing a Holley on the Bronco soon. I'm using a 1985 Mustang GT aluminum intake with a Holley 600. This set up is sitting on my work bench all rebuilt and ready to go.......hesitating due to how well the stock set up is working for now.

What is the part number for that adapter to the kickdown?

Anyone use the Mustang GT intake on their Bronco?

Thanks,
Mikey

this is what I used to buy my parts and the info came from holley, keep in mind the intake is for my 351W. I also dont know what good the kickdown device is to me as my kick down arm has been removed.

You will need to get a 4bbl intake, I would go with part # 8023
You will need part # 20-2 throttle ball
And part # 20-91 thans kick down if it is a auto trans
Thanks Ricky

 

[Mikey]

I checked the Holley site for #20-91. Got that, I think. But....the short part that is attached directly on the black kickdown rod and goes to the bracket on the carb (secured with an e-clip) is the part I don't recognize.

Thanks!!!!
