Holley carb. kickdown for C6

I have a Holley 600 atop my 300 I6, connected to a C6.

Since this carb is not stock for this particular engine, how can attach some kickdown linkage to the tranny? And, where would it all attach???

Thanks
GS

Holley carb. kickdown for C6

I am debating this myself, but with a 2BBL. A lot of the truck is mut-mix parts anyways, so I am thinking of using a kickdown cable from a newer v8-c6 combo, with EFI. I think it will work ok, you will have to make up some custom brackets, but it should do the job.

You can buy kickdown cable kits from Lokar??? -spelling. They run on eBay all the time and you can find them in performance catalogs.

I looked at Lokar and that's a good alternative. You cannot add the Holley linkage with out taking the butterfly shaft out.
