You can't use an aftermarket cable. The cable anchors onto and goes inside the transmission. Do you have the original cable?

OK guys I have a classic with a 327, had the Edelbrock on it running with the Tranny cable not correctly set up and blew my Tranny.... Needless to say that was about 2K I didn't want to spend I have found the Correct Rambler Holley Carb
H44160 on Rock AUto. The only issue is finding the correct after market kickdown cable. Here is the carb info..

It runs pretty good with out alot of mods. Still need to get it shipped over to me but the few days I drove it she ran like a top. Todd

I am having the same problems with my '65 marlin I would be interested in seeing your solution.
the way I have it hooked up now seems like it is preventing WOT of the carb...

there's room under the carb nut but making a bracket and mounting it there would most likely interfere with the throtle rod when the gas pedal is pressed. and i can move the bracket forward but it seems the TV cable is at its limits and cant move forward anymore so im going to move it back an inch +/- and extend the treaded rod. i'd leave it where it is now but the rod is barely threaded into clevise by maybe a turn or two. other than that the bracket is sturdy enough to handle the movement of TV cable, it doesn't flex or bind at all. its a bit bulky though, i might cut it down a bit.

Is there room under the back carb nut (just above cable in photo) to mount the bracket there -- or at least a forward support for the bracket? That would move it forward quite a bit.

I made a quick TV bracket yesterday and vice gripped it into place. took the car for a ride and adjusted the cable, seems to be working good but the cable is almost at the end of its adjustment, i might be able to move the bracket forward a 1/4" or so or move it back and extend the threads with a coupler and a piece of threaded rod. Id rather not extend the threads but if i don't have any slack in the TV line thats what i'll have to do.  once i get it right i'll weld it up and paint it.
and the powder coating on the intake manifold is bubbling up near the heat risers, should have just painted it, but i'll fix that when i pull the engine to clean up the engine bay.
