    Walt,
    Trying to find carb with a throttle arm that will work with a repro 2x4 linkage and the "push button" trans switch is what I'm up against. I will see if I can post a picture of the manifold this week.
    I hit a snag on the first series B&M trans gauge because it could not be rebuilt, they were made by RAC and very cheaply. On the Project Super Stock I'm trying to find correct vintage parts to get the car looking like just what you saw going down the strip at Indy or Atco back in the day.

    If you're not trying to go to a factory perfect setup, JEGS and Summit show universal kick down switches which could be made to work with any carb set up. Read Jon Hardgrove's (owner) comments on running dual quad carbs on his website. www.thecarburetorshop.com. The '64 transmission does not have the variable pitch torque converter so you only have to connect one wire to the sender in the transmission; not nearly as difficult as trying to sync the kick down with the switch pitch on a '65 / '66. I've seen repo 2x4 linkage for the Super Wildcat on eBay.
