A very little progress

I did not get a whole lot accomplished in the past week. I did get the starter motor bolted up. Here is a picture of that (not yet wired up)...


Next I moved on to the TV cable, also known as the kickdown cable. Basically, it is a cable that runs from the carburetor to the transmission that lets the tranny know what is going on with the throttle. The one that came with the transmission was old and gnarly, so I bought a nice new shiny one made by Lokar, at top quality company. Here is the kit...


I started to install it, and I am not pleased with how it all fits. There are several things I do not like and I am contemplating actually going back to the old one. Here are some pics of the new one in place, but barely.



I still need to order my shifter and my driveshaft, but until I satisfy myself on the workings of this kickdown cable, progress will be limited.
