Mark,
I am not sure we're on the same page here.
What I was trying to find out is whether the kickdown cable needed to, or if it even SHOULD be hooked up and operational if this transmission has NO modulator or governor.
It's impossible to get a vacuum signal from the engine, due to the lack of an intake manifold (Hilborn mechanical port fuel injection; old-style), and we can't seem to find a mechanical modulator for a Turbo 350, so it will have:'
1. No modulator of any kind
2. No governor
3. No kickdown cable
That will work okay with a full-manual valve body, if I understand everything... it just means that for the transmission to shift up OR down, he'll always have to move the shift lever, which is no big deal, as the car won't be driven very much.
That being the case, I don't think it's EVER going to downshift on its own, will it? No governor; no kickdown cable; no modulator.... what could effect a dowshift? There's no reason for it to get into another gear.
lease correct me if I'm wrong... and, thanks for your time and advice!!!
Bill
