[W126 Coupe] REALLY cheap performance upgrade!

[malcolm369 at comcast.net]

Regarding full throttle, linkage mods, and kick-down issues, I think the spring 
link serves a valuable function and should be retained.

Actual WOT is meant to occur when the accel. pedal just touches the kick-down 
switch. After that point, the linkage is moved further in order to activate both 
the kick-down switch & pull cable to the transmission.

The spring link allows this additional movement without over-stressing the 
'already to the stops' cruise control & throttle actuator linkage.

If it is determined the car isn't getting WOT, a simple (one bolt) adjustment 
can be made up near the firewall. 

Pics below.

Cheers,  MBL
