Do you have a carb meant for a 700 or a 350?

 

dunno it's a holley 600 cfm carburetor the car that the engine in it before had a th 350 in it does that make a diff.

 

Yes it does make a difference. The pull point will not be correct to give you the proper geometry. You see, the 350 kickdown cable just has two jobs; part throttle 3-2 and WOT KD. It has a modulator for pressure control and shift delay. The 700 does everything through the TV cable and it is very precise. It has more travel than the 350 because of these differences. I do believe you can get an adaptor for your linikage though.
