Bobby - I did use the existing hole in the Lokar bracket then had to fab a second bracket to bolt on to that bracket for the cruise control. I do have a fully modified transmission with a different kick down lever - take a look at the TCI trans web site or the Lokar site (here's their lever selection;

One other way around that long throw for the TV/kick down may be to shorten the OEM lever on the transmission - plus there may be an OEM tranny lever that has a shorter carb end throw.
