Kick Down-Cable or Shaft

Post by 1970pickup »

I just put a 390 with a C-6 into my truck. I need to get the kick down hooked up. I cant find any info about if it uses a cable or a rod. Anyone know where to get info or the needed part. Thanks Jack

it should be a rod. Ive heard you can make one out of copper tubing if your careful and don't pinch it.

Also it similiar enough to the 73-up to 79 Automatic c6's and possably c4s so in a junk yard containing an automatic ford truck in the range from 1967-1979 Should have one unless its been plundered.

Uses a rod if the engine has a carb. You can get a cable one that works just great from Lokar.
