Tranny Swap with a Twist
Hello all, I recently removed my 2 speed jetway from my 67 Cutlass Towne Sedan and intend to replace the old junkaway with a freshly rebuilt gm th350 (universal/multicase). My question is simple, are there any aftermarket products that will allow me to connect a kickdown cable bracket to my original rochester 2 barrel carburetor? If so, can you share that information with me? If not, can you suggest some ideas to point me in the right direction? I haven't seen any forum posts that address my unique situation a transmission swap from the 2 speed to a th 350 with a 2 barrel carb set up. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Serious And Intelligent Responses Only Please!!!!
This is precisely why I come here time and again because of the great information disseminated on this site. As a general rule of thumb, I try to avoid mind numbing conversations like the one you were trying to have and your knee jerk response lacked critical thought and was useless. Whatever you were alluding to or talking about was completely unhelpful to me and did I mention that it was totally useless? Hey question monitor, If you cant help or don't know the answer that is fine, I can deal with that, however my 2 cent advise to you (since you added your's to my question) is that you not waste my valuable time with inept responses. Why cant people think first before speaking??
In my experience on this site I have found that 95% of the guys and gals on these sites are extremely helpful and to you folks I say thank you. However, the are always a few marginal CLOWNS that make asking for information very frustrating!! To that 5% (Only the Clowns will get offended by this) just be quiet so those that of us interested in good sound advice can hear from the 95% who actually( know what they are talking about) have valuable information to share and genuinely want to help!
Thankfully, one serious fellow Oldsmobile car enthusiast knew where I was going with my original tranny question in context and responded. By the way, Thanks for the information Sir or Ma'am! It is greatly appreciated. Now that I feel better, I can continue with my serious high quality tranny swap. Thanks again for the useful information. (Thanks to the 95% keep up the great work) To the 5% Clowns the circus has left town!!!!!!!

Hey question monitor, why does it matter what terminology that was used when asking my question? For starters, I rarely post questions on this site and when I do find the time to ask legitimate questions, I always get serious and helpful responses!

-The moderator Oldscutlass gave you some very helpful info I thought.
59-59-59 a registered user, I believe was trying to be slightly amusing. "tranny" "transvestite with a twist " get it? But then if you need to explain a joke it ain't so funny.
Best regards
Mike

Mike nailed it, it was an attempt at being funny that just didn't pan out well. Please don't take it to heart as some of us have a different sense of humor. Sorry for my short reply earlier, I was short on time. Like I said just treat it like a Chevelle, you may have to mod the mounting bracket of what ever setup you buy. I've done this on many a Chevy 6 cylinder/std trans to a v8/auto on old pickups.

My problem is, for a split second, I DID picture it.

Before this gets out of hand... apparently the intent of the originally posted comment, albeit a misguided attempt in humor, went south and was taken the wrong way. It happens, lets move on.
How about we do a start over and give the new guy a chance.

Here's a link to a post about using the BTO TVEZ kit on a 2GC carb:
https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...tml#post721672
If you look further down that thread, I have some pictures of how I had to modify the brackets to work, since the adapter bracket was for a "small throat" 2GC instead of the larger throat I had. BTO doesn't make a kit for the large throat 2GCs. I know you are looking for the kickdown cable attachement and mine was for a TV cable, but there may be some ideas to get you going.

Not to be argumentative, but, hey, I'm sorry, I'm going to be argumentative, and risk getting deleted here.
If you walk into a first grade class to teach a biology lesson on digestion and write the word "Poop" on the blackboard, you're going to get some funny comments.
If you walk into the internet and type the word "Tranny" in your title, the same thing will happen. It's like the weather.
More significantly, though, this is a public internet discussion board (or "forum" as those young kids say). Anyone with an e-mail address and a random string of characters can join, and, as long as they're not BadAndy, they can comment.
If you create a thread, it is not your thread. You do not have ownership of it. You are not the gatekeeper. You cannot take it and go home if the other children don't play the way you want to.
You post up a thread, some people provide helpful responses, some people provide incorrect responses, and some people provide irrelevant (but sometimes amusing) responses. That is the nature of the internet, and, here on ClassicOlds, as long as you are not obscene, abusive, or defamatory, you are allowed to post whatever you wish.

The real question here is why can "tranny" mean transvestite and not transmission? Tranny is a slang term no matter how you look at it. I've been calling a transmission a tranny or trans since long before I even knew what a transvestite was, and I'm not going to change because of a sophomoric 7th grade humor level on this board.

IT WAS A JOKE!!! No one is asking anyone to change their mechanical terminology. It was a small bit of sarcasm to get a giggle out of some of the immature posters, like myself, and should have been ignored by the OP and anyone else who lacks a sense of humor.

A joke?
It was insightful and critical commentary on the evolving state of the perception of the artificially constructed concept of "gender" in twenty-first century American society, and its reflection in the lexical and dialectical choices and semiotic memes of electronic communication and meta-communication.

Damn Eric, could you have stated your view any clearer. Lets cut the guy a break and give him the benefit of the doubt. Yes he overreacted to what normally would be humorous banter, misconstruing a mild attempt at senseless humor. He also could have been flamed at another forum which put him on the offensive, or possibly having a bad day.

Isn't this thread in the wrong Forum. Should be in Parts for Sale. Right?
Actually I am not sure who would want to swap anything for a Twisted Tranny but you never know.
Obviously I am in the 5% group. My apologies to the other 95% of you guys.
