A little Aussie history on the use of the 1958 to 1991 Borg Warner US patent 35/40/42 and 51 transmissions. It has an AOD style down shift cable that can be repurposed as an AOD throttle valve cable (TV Cable)
In Australia, from 1964 to 1983, Ford used the old AMC Borg Warner 35 or 40 3 speed automatic transmission with a special downshift cable which is just like the AOD 4 stage automatic.
It was the Chrysler Corp Valiant 225 Slant and HEMI 215/245/265 or AMC 232/258/304/343 gearbox, and FoMoCo Australia decided to use it as a C4 replacement from Chrysler Australia when they closed down in 1980-1982 to become Mitsubishi Australia. The gearbox was used as a Model 51 until 1991 on 3.2 and 3.9 liter OHC sixes, and as a Model 40 on 1991 4.1 Liter OHV sixes.
The US C4 was withdrawn from the Oz options list in early 1982, last year of the Six Cylinder Cortina, Six Cylinder Transit Van and it was not an option on the Bronco or F100 4.1 liter six.
That C4 gearbox with the stock 2V Weber ADM 34 requires a special down shift cable,
The Weber ADM 34 carb doesn't have one that suits the C4, although we can make the BW 40 one work with reasonable ease.
The 1968 to 1982 C4 automatic has an iron bell-housing made in Australia for a US C4 gearbox with a 1650 302 Windsor V8 torque converter, called the C9 six cylinder bellhousing because it came out in the 1968 221 XW Falcon and Fairlane as an option, and then got revised in 1969 again.

When converting to 2bbl 2300 series Holley 350 or 500 cfm 2-bbl, you have to adapt the Down shift rod to a 1969-1971 V8 304/343 ONE
When convering to a Weber 2-bbl from a 2300 Ford, it requires a whole nuther set of parts.

xctasy":pwaxt6dy said:First, lets have a look at the parts on your Weber ADM 34.
It has an Electronic Coolant temperature sensor input. And a combined red wire circiut of A fuel flow sensor, an idle stop solenoid and an anti-dieseling solenoid.
The back of the carb and intake have a passenger side accelerator cable designed for a Right Hand Drive car. And a kick-down /down shift cable bracket, which operates from the long lever on the primary Drivers sde Barrel of the 2bbl carb, just below the green electric choke.
With a Fox 2.3 liter accelerator cable and bracket and part of a 2-bbl 5200/6200 2bbl carb, you can get your Ranchero accelerator working easily.
The Holley Weber Drivers side primary linkage and the whole 1978-1982 Accelerator cable will get your ADM 34 working without having to convert anything.
That's your first problem solved. Having an Accelerator and kick-down cable that work without futzing around.
