:shock: Somebody is smoking some serious crack!

It is entirely possible to run a Super six carb using the complete original one-barrel kickdownb linkage. I just did this swap on my brother's van. I will post pictures of it tomorrow. The only thing you have to do is get a piece of metal and drill two holes in it 7.5 inches apart.

Those two bidders, need to be spoon fed, some common sense.
I can't tell if it even has the kick down lever, or just the adjuster on the trans end.

Damn! I think it's time for me to start scouring the junk yards for kickdown linkage. A few of those and I could retire!

That is INSANE! I bought an entire super six setup 8 years ago from a local JY for $30, but at the time I didn't think about needing the kickdown linkage. I'm finally getting around to installing it, but there is no way I would pay that price just for the linkage! Using the one-barrel sounds slick! Thanks Reed! I'll watch for those pics.

What are they doing, a chalkmark-correct concors restoration? I thought the Lokar setup is pricey, but this?!?
