Does anyone have instructions/advice for adjusting the TV cable on
my 700? I am using a LOKAR TV Cable & Bracket on a TPI motor, not
the stock zip & click stock cable. When I installed it several
years ago, I adjusted it using a gauge and had to read specific
pressure ranges for each gear. I can't find the info used back then.
Thanx

One reference (from Corvette Forum):
The TV cable adjustment is made on the side of the carb. It is something
that can be done in a few minutes. If your pivot point is correct all
you do is push in the metal tab on the cable mount and push the nose
towards the firewall or into the mounting bracket then take the carb
throttle linkage and give it full throttle until the cable ratcheted out
and the butterflies of the carb are at full throttle position. This
should adjust the TV cable correctly. If you make the cable shorter by
pushing it into the body the shifts are alot harder You can try this but
the 1st time you floor it the cable will self adjust. I mentioned the
throttle stud must be in the correct location so that at a given
throttle position the TV cable is pulled out the correct amount for line
pressure. I have these demensions but not here. The shop that rebuilt my
transmission wanted my copy for their files. Remember to adjust the TV
cable nothing but the aircleaner must come off.
