Holley carb question

I have a nos Holley 2 brl Ford Part number: C8TF-9510-AR on the box and Motorcraft C8TF AR A 8M7 on the carb tag. I was wondering if anyone knew where I would be able to get an automatic kick down linkage setup for this carb? Also it has a manual choke and I was wondering if there might be a regular or electric choke setup available.
The carb runs great as is, ran it on my bronco for a few months. Gives lots of pep to the ole 400 But I want to put it on my baby now instead of rebuilding the origonal motorcraft for now. I can live w/the manual choke, but she's an auto so I'd like the kick down linkage.
Thanks!!!!

You can get a Holley electric choke cap. I don't know if you can add the kick down linkage.

Holley carb question

I know that Holley makes a kickdown conversion for the 4bbl's. You may contact themabout the 2bbl. I am thinking that they would be the same, but without seeing your exact carb, I can't say for sure.

Holley carb question

Thanks for the input! I'll have to contact holley and find out. All the linkages (accel, choke, and what almost looks like a cable operated kickdown???) are all on the same side. The other side has what appears to be a gov and a block off plate. But there doesn't seem to be any connection to the choke...
