I've always had manual trans cars so this is new to me. I put a c4 in my Fairlane and I don't know how they are downshifted. Does it need a cable or mechanical linkage? And where do I hook it to on the trans?

The 63 Fairlane had a bellcrank and pushrod kickdown setup.

Hi Bud,
Start by getting a shop manual for your yr, make, and model. There will be a trunk load of info. You will need linkage for the carb, as well. This is why you
Happy Trails.

I have all that bellcrank and linkage and all that, but I can't use it with the intake that's on the car now, so I need to find some other way.
