Re: T350 kickdown cable?

See that button on top of the kickdown cable at the bracket? With the engine off... If you hook up the slotted part of the cable to the stud on the carb, you then depress that button and hold it, and have someone step on the gas pedal all the way while having that button still depressed. It will pull the cable through the bracket and then while your buddy holds the throttle at WOT release the button. Now it will hold the cable in the new position and the cable should be adjusted to the proper length.

The older style cables have a slide you have to pry out and do the same thing. It's out lined in a service manual if you have one.
