This may be a dumb question, but are there different length arm geometries at the throttle shaft depending on TH350 for Kickdown and 700r4 for Throttle valve cable?

Need to mod a throttle body for 3 connections, throttle, trans and cruise.
originally manual trans, switching to 700R4 and cruise. Have shaft from older Qjets in parts box. thought about grafting lever setup onto newer shaft but I think the ones I have are for 350 kickdown.

I suppose I could probably get a replacement shaft with correct setup but would rather reuse something I have for free if possible.

The angle, the distance from the pivot shaft, and the adjustment are critical on these transmission.  Just do it like this site tells you.  http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/techinfo/700R4p1.html

700 r4 requires a special ratio kickdown cam. Can buy them from summit as pictured below.  



Summitt web page for the part  http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-700202/       $19.95

The pic is my carb which shows the kickdown cam, throttle cable, the cruise control I hooked up to the foot feed inside the car

Summer also shows how to modify a 350 kickdown on his site.

I traced the kickdown cam on some card stock before i installed mine so I could send you a pdf you could print and cut one out.

Thanks for the rapid response.
WZ Junk this is exactly the info I was looking for, thanks!

34Ford, I would appreciate a copy of the template.

I built mine for a 600 Holley carb based on Sumner's page. Works flawlessly.

At the time I did my swap 9-10 years ago, the ready made brackets were not readily available everywhere.

I also used Sumner's site for my duel carb inline six with the 700r4. Worked great for the five years I owned the car.
