Hook up the kickdown cable to the bottom lever of the carb. Pop the kickdown cable adjustment tab up to release the cable adjustment. Put the carb at wide open throttle (after you verify that pushing the gas pedal to the floor really does get you wide open throttle - fix things as necessary to make sure you get WOT). With the carb at WOT, push the cable release tab back down to lock it in place.

Done.
