The AOD doesn't use a kickdown cable it's a throttle valve(TV) cable that varies line pressure in the trasnmission in sync with throttle position, so it must be connected and set with the proper preload or transmission damage is likely. Once you get the cable have a look at this video.

Paul is correct, but Lokar and others wrongly refer to it as a kickdown cable. The cable assembly I found is listed for controlling an AOD with a carb'ed engine. Many of the hotrodders use this combination.
