i have a 92 a518 in a 85 dodge ram and its bolted behind a 360 the tranny came out of a d150 with non lockup converter and the old 727 kickdown linkage and it has a holley street avenger 670 and i feel like it doesnt down shift easy enuff if i slow down then hit the gas it just doesnt down shift unless it punch the gas how should i adjust the kickdown so it down shifts earlier and its a rod style not cable thanks ahead of time advise much appreciated

You cant adjust the linkage to fix that. A shift kit may have what you need. Consult with Summit Racing or Jegs.

IT is adjustable.. Either at the trans or at the carb..

Ok thanks and I know it's adjustable I didn't know witch way to go with it

i put a kit in mine but the linkage should be adjusted to the rear
the arm pushes back to increase trany fluid pressure. should cause a kick down but if you want a more street/strip feel then a shift improvement kit is the ticket i used a ATC reprogramming shift improvement kit.
