  Thanx Brad, but that particular post & most everything else I've googled
refer to a stock cable.  There is no tab to push down with the LOKAR cable.
Its a braided cable, adjusted by movement of lock nuts at the mount bracket.


 

  The TV Made EZ page & its links give the procedure with a braided cable,
but not the specific pressures to look for.   Bowtie OD wants you to record
the pressues, email them, and then they tell you what adjustments to make
(as far as I could find). 
 

   Late last nite I found a Swedish (I think) web site thgat gave the
pressures in KpA (??) and if I can find some type of conversion chart it may
help.  Any more info will sure be appreciated.  I've had great luck &
reliability with this tranny for 10 years & don't want to burn it up now.

   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.
