Q-jet or carb and 700R4?

Has anyone switched to carb and still used the 700R4. I have talked to Damon aleady and he suggest I get a kickdown bracket from B&M..it is made to adapt for an auto trans. Has anyone else done this swap and what did you use for the kickdown and all.

I'm using a Holley 600 and a 700R4 still.
I still need to make some fine-tuning adjustments to the kickdown cable, but it works.

Duffster, what did you use for your throttle bracket and for the kickdown.

I used the Holley bracket (pn 20-95).
