    If you mean a cable to activate p***ing gear... I'm running a t-ram with a turbo 400 with no downshift cable

    Why would it be any different than the stock setup if you're using a single carb?

    Dawm! Pontiac Slim! Howdy BRO! Just started My tunnelramed 421 superduty aluminumed frontended Drag Catalina yesterday, backfired thru the intake and blew off the top of the aircleaner on the front carb!

    Now....since I'm settling down now....let me ask you this........why the hell would you want to hook up your p***ing gear on a TH-350? You don't need it, all it does is 1. kick up your pressure in your valvebody,2.does the same thing YOU OUGHT TO DO WHEN YOU ROMP ON IT, SHIFT IT MANUALLY. You really don't want to be dragracin' in drive.........

    As stated you do not need it on a 350T .
    BUt options as requested.
    An aftermarket cut to fit cable . or hook it to gas pedal like Olds did from the factory and that would give you a cleaner look anyways . or make an extnsion like I had to once on a last minute deal for a guy who was out of money .

    Hello, been there done that, here's the only pic I have of the setup, I used a kick down cable from a Chevy truck with an inline 6, I think the application was late 70s. I made a bracket and mounted it to the carb mounting stud. Hope this helps.
