what kinda kickdown cable do i need?
A: you need one from a th350

where can i buy new trans cool lines?
A: any parts store, they won't be prebent. even from gm parts they aren't

where do i take the vacuum from for the modulator? the carb or the manifold?
A: manifold

can i use my 700R4 shifter for now?
A: maybe

can i use the 700R4 shift cable?
A: good chance

how do i adjust the kickdown cable?
A: it's not adjustable

where do i hook the reverse lights?
A: should already be hooked up to the 700r4 shifter

will the torque converter that comes with it work with the 700R4 flexplate?
A: yes

how hard is it to install a shift kit?
A: not real hard and if you need a kick down cable you'll be right there any way

please excuse my little knowledge when it comes to automatic transmissions
A: i don't know anything either and the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked, but we sure do have fun with some of the ones that get asked

How are you mounting your torque arm ?

 

hurst and B&M make a kit................the bracket looks like it attach in between the tailshaft and main body of the tranny


well, my 350 engine and TH350 arrived, i'll prolly put the TH350 in, in 2 weeks

 

the adapter goes on the outside of the tail houseing, not between it and the main body. it's pretty easy after you have the kit.

 

The kickdown (detent) cable is adjustable but not in the same way the 700R4's TV cable is.

There's a lock on the cable that attaches to the bracket up at the carb. You unlock it and push the cable back through a bit. Move the throttle to WOT and push the lock down. The cable will click as the throttle is moved to WOT. Release the throttle and the detent cable is now set.

It's kind of hard to describe how the lock works. It's better to just see it.

 

hehe, i lucked out.....the motor and trans still have the kickdown cable on it one less part i have to buy
