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.
