John, The tranny worked fine 2 weeks ago when i pulled the motor.
Does anyone have pictures of how to hook up the kickdown? It was originally on a 2v and now it's on a 4v. it doesn't seem to reach, and to be honest, it seems i brain dumped taking the carb off. I have never messed with carbs

Been there done that!!!Green, The tranny will shift up without a kickdown on the vehicle at all. It will run fine without one at all, you just don't have the downshift by mashing the gas available.

Yes, it will work fine WITHOUT the kickdown as that ONLY controls kickdown for passing.
If you leave the VACUUM line off the modulator/or carb.....it will NOT shift right, or hardly at all since it doesn't know what you are doing. The govenor(inside tranny) will finally shift it once it reaches a certain RPM.

The type you are referring to is used in an overdrive unit.
