edelbrock carb question
i just bought a 86 f-350. it has a 351m and c-6 trans. edelbrock carb.
i need to button up a few things on her.
there is no kickdown linkage to the trans.
can i get a stock one from the junkyard to work with the edelbrock?
or do i need to get a locar style cable?
i was wondering if the edelbrock was good for pulling, or if i should get a stock one back on her.
i have had very little experiance with a edy ,and that was on a buddys car that was hopped up a bit.
i know they are very tuneable and you can get all sizes of jets.
i just dont know if the are good for pulling a load.
i bought her in ohio and used a tow dolly to pull my wife buick back with.
she had two burnt plug wires and dirty pilot jets.
the motor was stumbleing at idle but was better at a higher rpm.
i did a tune up and cleaned the pilots by pulling the idle mixture screws out and cleaning the ports with carb cleaner. worked good.

A small edelbrock carb would be good for towing, especially with a dual plane intake.
Go to jegs or summit, and it may take a little bit of hunting, but edelbrock makes a bracket kit that goes to the carb to accept the original ford kickdown. Edelbrock also has a excellent website with down loadable manuals for all their carbs and parts. Summit usually links to these manuals for the parts they sell.

i was looking through there last night. all that i could find is that i have the right throttle bracket for putting the linkage on.
there is a small fitting with a screw for the connection that i need .
but it didnt say if it was for stock or for the locar cable.
if it slowes down raining here i might take a trip to the junkyard and see how all the carb connections are on a stock one to see if i can retro fit

My Supercab has an Edelbrock a on it, she has the linkage on the carb, but no kickdown "bar" I guess you would call it, that goes to the tranny. I found that you don't really need it if you don't mind down shifting when needed using the gear selector...
