Here’s the deal. I just got my 89 camaro running on all 8 cylinders and hit the track. We ran a 12.993 with a 1.7 60’ time. We had a 104-105 mph trap speed. After looking over the time slips we decided to move from a 750 vacuum secondary Holley to a 700 double pumper. The car seems to flatten out through the middle of the pass. We rebuilt the carb and mounted it last night. I need to change some linkage and vacuum lines around. We are running a turbo 350 and I wonder if I need to invent some linkage for the kick down. This carb does not have an arm to attach the cable to. If I do not care about the kickdown feature do I still need to hook this up to enhance or maintain internal pressure on the transmission? If it doesn’t I can forget this linkage. If I do not hook it up and have softer shifts then I will build some linkage. Are there any trans guru’s out there that can help me out or link me to a site that will tell me? Thanks in advance!
