TV Cable Adjustment
I read up on HOW TO do the adjustment, I do have a question though. I have a carb'd 305 and I think my TV cable is out of whack. I tried to adjust it by doing the following...
1) Press the button in
2) Pulled cable forward (front of car)
3) Slowly pushed gas pedal down to the floor. I did not hear a click or feel tension like the how to's said I should.
Any ideas?

Re: TV Cable Adjustment
All I know is that TV cable adjustment is not something to be taken lightly. I have had to rebuild a tranny after one WOT run because of it.
1. Hold button in
2. Push center in
3. Rotate throttle shaft at Carb or TBI/TPI unit to WOT.
It will turn very very hard. This is where I went wrong. I didn't think it would be that hard the first time so I stopped, but keep turning until the blades are just about straight up and down. I've never heard of doing it from the pedal, but I suppose you could. I read to do it from the throttle shaft I guess so you are sure you know when you are at WOT.
