Throttle Linkage

I posted this message in the carburator forum also so pardon the repeat.

I need help setting up my throttle link and kickdown on my '78 supercab. I just installed a 400 and c6 so all of this is new to me. I've got a new edelbrock 1406 and am wondering the best way to run both of these.
Any help you can give me will be great. I need this to be running by Thursday night and this is one of the last things to deal with.

Chris

If you need to run on Thur. you can run with out the kick down it will not hurt anything. I have looked at posts of people who has done this for a year or more. Just make sure the kick down is not engaged. You just will not have a passing gear until you connect it back up. You can buy a linkage kit from jegs or summit to make it work.
