Having trouble using 700R tranny with a 350 dual quad assperated motor. Can't get it adjusted right. I know the 700R was built to work with a injection type system , but I'm having trouble adjusting the cable from tranny to carb's. I can light the tires up but it's momentary and just shift's on. It's like it shift's to fast. I've adjusted it and it's a little better but I just can't dial it in. Looking for suggestions before I burn up the tranny. This all sit's in a 34 ford coupe.
Anyhow, I had a vette with a 700r4, loved it.....put shifter in first gear, shift it manually....I did everyday....fun too
Both Holley and Edelbrock make carb attachments to correct geometry. Edelbrock carb kick down bracket # 8026 Holley carb kick down bracket #20-121 Been using the Holley bracket on my 700 r 4 with good results
Keep in mind that with the t.v. Cable adjustments a little bit of adjustment makes a lot of difference Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
You have to make the hook-up point on the carb lower on almost all carbs. Just weld a washer to the bottom of the throttle cam. That seems to fix them all. Sent from my XT1585 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Be cautious , I fried A 700r4 as a kiddo behind a 454 with a offy port o sonic intake & it doesn't take that lesson but once to make one study it very carefully the next time. Good luck. Flux
THIS /\ is the way to go. TV cable has to move 1:1 with carb throttle, you could figure it out, but much easier and safer to just spend a few bucks and get one that is right out of the box. More to it than just welding a washer on the linkage or just putting the pivot in another place. If it ain't right, you WILL burn the trans up in short order.....
Save your money on that bowtie overdrives kit if you can make the other brackets work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
