Non feedback w/kickdown and AOD

Does anyone know if its possible to have a non-feedback carb, with kickdown for a AOD "metric" tranny.

The application would be for a FORD I6, 2WD???

Yes, it is very possible, but first you have to consider a few things:

The AOD tranny doesn't use a "kickdown." It has a throttle valve cable or rod on earlier models. You could use an aftermarket carburetor, but if you go with a Holley carburetor for example, it is IMPERATIVE that you use one of these:

Holley Performance Products 700R-4 KICKDOWN THROTTLE Bracket 20-121

If you go with an Edelbrock, they will have their own bracket similar to the one listed above. Remember, it is IMPERATIVE that you have the TV cable pressure set correctly from the carburetor (I had a transmission shop set mine, using a pressure guage) or you will DESTROY your AOD in very short order.
