th350 detent or kick down cable

[Eighty5C10]

When the previous owner slapped the 1406 600cfm Eddy on the 350 they home made a little tab shall we say. I haven't driven the truck as of yet but I am curious on how the detent cable should be hooked up and or adjusted.

When the carb throttle is wide open, the detent cable should be fully extended. Simple as that. Cable end should be installed at lowest point on carb throttle lever.

As for connection to the intake manifold, there are a variety of methods. This is probably the most common setup -- cable with a bracket that attaches to the rear intake manifold bolts.
