I have an '83 gmc 2500, was converted from 6.2 deisel to a 350. I believe the 700r4 trans is the original. I bought the truck w/o a motor, but it had a 350 motor in it. I put a '76 4 bolt main 350 in it, when I bought the truck there was a quadjet carb connected to an intake manafold sitting in the bed of the truck, I just took the carb off the old intake man, and put it on the 350 I put in.my problem is that the tranny kick down cable won't reach the linkage on the carb, It's about 1/4 inch away, and thats without the linkage being moved, truck in park. I pulled the cable's "play" all out and won't reach. how do I get enough cable out to connect, I need like 3 or 4 inches cause when the tranny shifts there has to be enough play to move with the linkage. Any help would be highly appreciated. THANKS
