82 cj7 360 swap - detent cable?

[jpursley]

Hi,

I recently purchased an 82 Jeep CJ7. The previous owner was in the middle of a restoration (aren't we all? lol).

The only history I got about the status of the jeep was that he took a 360 out of a 81 Wagoneer, and put on a edelbrock high rise manifold and a edelbrock 750 performer carb.

My problem is that I am not 'positive' about the transmission that is in the jeep. From the pan bolt pattern (14 bolts), it appears to be an A904. The shift rod is installed, and it runs, but it only goes from 1 and 2 gear.

There is also a lever on the transmission (drivers side) that is not connected to anything. I presume this is the detent lever. I do not have any cables or rods to connect to it, and I am not sure what I should have there, or where to get it, or how to make sure I am getting the right thing (cable or rod?)

I have pictures of the edelbrock throttle lever and cable setup, as well as a pic of the lever on the transmission (assumed to be detent lever).

Any help trying to figure out what I have and what I need would be greatly appreciated!

I had a Chevy pickup with a Carter AFB much like your Edelbrock there, The throttle cable on mine connected to the carb with a snap connector to a screw in post on the throttle lever. The transmission kickdown used a double pillar bracket, one for the throttle cable and one for the trans kickdown. The trans kickdown was connected above the fulcrum of the carg throttle lever. If you go to your local wrecking yard you may find parts/examples of how this connection functions. Best of luck
