    C-4 shift down linkage

     



    I'm putting a C-4 behind a 312 (56) Tbird and have a question on how the kickdown lever works. Does it go forward when kicked down or rearward.

    I'm trying to set up the linkage using the stock 56 parts so this is an important question as far as I am concerned.

    Many thanks

    Paul

    This is how the carb is set up:
    Top = cruise control
    Middle = throttle
    Bottom = C4 kick down



    This is the way the tranny itself is set up:



    The cruise and kickdown cables are LOKAR as is the shifter and e-brake assembly
