Default What do I need to install kickdown cable?

I am ordering a kickdown cable from NPD but just now realized that I need more than just the cable to hook it up. What are these parts called in the following pictures and are those the only other parts i need to install the cable?

Also, on the first picture there is the bolt with the two sides that are flat and with two sides with threads on them. Does a nut go on this bolt to hold on that bracket or what goes there?

I dont have the neutral saftey switch on my car. Do I need to install that for the linkage to work?

Check out summit racing. Just installed one on my 1970 mustang. Since you have a holley there is also a bracket you'll need to hook it up. They can tell you at summit. Also if you have the old throttle linkage will need to replace - it will get in the way. I got and aftermarket chrome cable kit from autozone that hooked up no problem - summit has them too.

So you will need:

1. Lokar kickdown for C4 trans
2. Holley adaptor bracket
3. New throttle cable

Pretty easy intall.

So I need this kickdown bracket for my Holley to work with the kickdown? --> Kickdown bracket Where does this attach to?

Here is the throttle linkage I have now, can I still use this or will I need a different linkage?

No, I can take some pics when I go down to the garage. But, the install is very simple and the directions are very clear that comes with the Lokar.

Nope, you will need a new cable.

ummm tips on which one? Any cheap ones out there that will work? This whole kickdown deal seems to be adding up faster than I thought.
