convert from a powerglide to 350 trans.
Anyone have any pictures of carburator linkage or what year brackets I can use for the kick down cable for a two barrel carb. I am installing a 350 trans into a 68 firebird. I am pretty sure this did not happen in 68 so I will make a cable I have work if possible. Thanks

Try the Shift Works or one of the other street rod parts companies. They have a lot of universal stuff.

Two speed automatics in Pontiacs are superturbin 300 models and stronger than a glide in stock form.

You'll need to research later 2bbl cars like 1969-197x Lemans 350 and some big cars.
Lift the setup off of one of them. In the end it may be easier to swap in a 4bbl and brackets off of a 70s car or find a TH400 and swap it in so you don't need a cable. hahaha  Also check with Lokar for universal setups. |

Holley used to have a variety of cable brackets for all things carb related. Might be a website...
They may not have an exact original e, but can be made to work. I performed this swap on a Chevrolet. The carb cable/linkage was no big challenge. The shift shaft linkage was a little more difficult, don't remember what it took to convert... The swap was worth it. The 3 gears in the TH350, w/ the lower 1st gear made my car a lot nicer to drive....

It would be easiest to replicate what Pontiac used in '69 on 350 2bbl Firebirds!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
