Kickdown linkage

Ok, I did a search but didn't see anything on this: could someone post some pics of their tranny kickdown linkage mounted to a carb?

I'll be using a TH-350 since I have 3 of them readily available, so I was wondering how to hook up the kickdown. My other 2 cars, (non-3rd gens), have the kickdown running thru the firewall to the bottom of the accelerator pedal.

Well, I now kinda know how to set up the kickdown cable, but was wondering if anyone has any experience with the B&M Megashifter 82-92 3rd Gen Console shifter? Since this is a rachet shifter, is a kickdown cable even necessary? If not, what would you use to plug up the hole where the oem cable runs down into the valve body?

P.S.: This car will be used as a daily driver.

yes, the kickdown is still needed!!!!!!! the mega shifter being a ratchet shifter has nothing to do with the kickdown.
