Newbie with a 99% stock 1964 Cutlass post

Morning all - Hey hope someone can offer guidance for a new guy in need.....

I bought an all factory 64 Cutlass Post w/ 330 4Jet and JetAway 2spd. The guy who I bought it from (don't all these tories start that way?) put in a 200R4 from an 86 Cutlass right before I purchased it. All was good and well (sort of) until I noticed that there was no kick down and very little acceleration. The vehicle drove nice as a cruiser but if I even thought of giving it any pedal, all I did was waste $4 bucks a gallon.

Once I found the disconnected TV cable, I began to worry.

I see on here that many members have replaced the 2spd with a new 4spd 200R4 - currently I have the factory Rochester 4 barrel with the push rod throttle linkage. I went to hook up the TV and realized that with the factory linkage, the location to hook up the cable would actually push back towards the firewall and not pull it out as intended and required. Any thoughts or tips/suggestions on how to make this work?

Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Also - how do I add a profile pic? Couldn't find it anywhere!

Thomas
