good to know. i'll keep an eye out for some of this stuff. not needed now as I can alwasy just drop to 2nd as needed. but would definately be a "nice-to-have" sorta thing. THanks!

You have no choice but to buy a Lokar kit. You have a tunnel ram with two 4 bbl. carbs. There are no factory parts for that. The transmission will not work as designed without the kickdown working. Without the kickdown connected your trans is shifting only on torque demand and not throttle position.
