proper TV cable adjustment for 86 LG4 (700R4)

i saw it done on my 85 LB9 trans am with the 700r4 but what about an LG4? to what i believe you push that little button type thing on the TV cable near where it meets to the carb (on the side of cable), push the actual cable towar the fire wall and let off the button. I than by hand open the throttle all the way, i will hear like little teeth click and it should be set. am i correct to assume this is proper TV cable adjustment???

sorry about the crappy description its kinda late

To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the D button on the adjuster and loosen the cable setting. Now, have someone floor the gas pedal while you check to see if the throttle plate is open all the way. Usually they are off a little and will wiggle. Do whatever you have to do to get it open solid. Now, with the pedal still floored, press the D button and pull the cable casing (the black tube) back as hard as you can and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable so if for some reason it gets moved you can know where to put it again. The problem with the 'self adjust method' is that it bends things and puts them permanently out of whack. It is also the full TV setting, which is theoretically what the GM method does.
