FMX Kickdown linkage

[bkdunha]

Looking for stock attachment pictures of the FMX kickdown to the stock ford linkage. Preferably 2V, but I think 4V would be the same.

Are you looking for pictures at the carb, steering column, or tranny itself?

Carb please. Thanx

I don't have any good stock photos of this on my work computer, when I get home I'll pull my air cleaner off and snap some pictures.

there is a good picture on a 351C from a 69 Torino-it might be helpful

Thanks for the Photo's and the topic. I'm right about this stage in the build...

So, it would be correct to say that throttle arm contacts the kickdown lever somewhere in the middle of the throttle arms travel?

Thanks!

Thank you for the pictures. No spring?? Mine seems to just lay back on the manifold with no pressure or spring to hold it forward. Your pictures will help now I need to do some head scratching.

Where does this bit of linkage attach on yours?

 

[MechEng]

That goes to the accelerator pump on the front of the carb

(Just for clarity, here is a similar carb for an earlier mustang, showing the accelerator pump)

OK, can't keep my carbs straight right now as I am rebuilding the 4150 for my 67. I have that linkage for the accelerator pump. I thought that may have attached to the kickdown, but it appears maybe not. Still trying to figure out why my kickdown just flops back and is not in an orientation for the throttle to push against it to activate passing gear. I need to take a closer look again tonight.



Thank you

Here is a pic that I found, fmx-transmission-kick-down-adjustment-4300-base-idle screw in red. There is a spring that pulls the kickdown rod fwd. When the carb is at WOT the kick down rod should activate the lever on the tranny to get the downshift.

Here's some more pictures, I guess I'm missing a spring!
