Thermoquad kickdown with lokar cable

[ALTOcal69]

I have a thermoquad I want to install with a lokar kickdown cable, but the throttle lever on the thermoquad only functions with the a kickdown lever. The action is reversed if using a cable. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? My Edelbrock carb was the correct throttle lever that pulls the kickdown forward when the throttle is pulled back. There are a lot of throttle adaptors from Mancini racing or Hughes engines, but none are clearly the right solution. Does anyone know?

Need some pic's of your linkage to see what you have

I currently have an edelbrock carb installed. I have a thermoquad in the garage which I liked better, but i can't figure out how to get my cable style linkage to work with it. I have seen the gm version of thermoquad which seems to have a more useful bracket. I was just wondering if anyone has used a thermoquad and cable kickdown. Someone has to have that combo because any non-stock intake and the solid rod OEM style kickdown doesn't work correctly.

Here is a good video on the cable install but with a edelbrock.

That's great, but I already have that setup down. I'm trying do the exact same thing with a thermoquad. I'm hoping someone has installed a thermoquad on an automatic car that has a kickdown cable rather than the stock rod system.

You will have to add a piece to have it hang down below the shaft to pull forward. I would just use the stock linkage and raise the throttle/kickdown bracket with cut and weld.

Exactly! I'd rather have a bracket on the carb and stick with the cable. Anybody have this setup?
