That unintuitive setting may no longer be in the interface, but it used to be that way. Also don't leave the ICE-like setting for dust and scratches (infrared channel) turned on -- Kodachrome is just like silver B&W film and infrared cleaning/ICE won't work. Set your black and white points at the very ends of the preview histogram to avoid all clipping, not at the ends of the scale, just at the ends of the image data. Hope this helps, I'll review what I've written when I get back into the studio tomorrow morning.
