I need a kickdown control linkage for a 1979 F-150, engine type 400 modified, it is a 4x4. The truck has a 650 Holley carb so I guess I will need to get a conversion kit for it. Can anyone help?

Holley didn't make a conversion kit for the 650 Double pump. I will have to swap out the carb with a street avenger to be able to have the passing gear.

Yeah, the gas milage is awful, been thinking about getting a bigger tank. This is a 14 gallon tank on a truck getting 5mpg, being generous. Another carb is an option I'm studying also.

the vac secondaries carbs are much more economical.4mpg's...heavy foot?built motor?or unknown reason?
Built motor, 4x4, and lift kit with a set of 35's on it. I don't think I'll lose that much by going to the Holly Avenger.

dude weve got a 460 with a performer intake and QJET carb off a350 chevy. And we have kickdown! go look at a dodge with auto trans. We modified an upper linkage and intake pivot off a 318.made rod from pivot to trans from 3/8 steel fuel line.use the stud from dodge carb for linkage to slide on. Adjust upper rod so stud just fits in back of slut when kickdown on trans is pushed down and carb is at full open. from the montain! be brave boys mix up those parts. hillbillyI need a kickdown control linkage for a 1979 F-150, engine type 400 modified, it is a 4x4.

I bought my kit from someone on ebay and honestly dont remember the brand .It looks to me like its pretty universal,being a cable you can route it almost any way you want to as long as its not kinked.But I cant swear it will work on a Holley I have an edelbrock.
