700R4 TV and TPI Throttle Body Linkage

Maybe a stupid question and a non-issue, but trying to cover all the bases for 700R4 TV installation and would really appreciate the knowledge of the 700R4 tranny experts here. Also have posted this in the TPI Forum.

Is there any difference between stock GM TPI throttle body linkage arms, say for a TPI unit that came from a car with a TH350 versus one that came with a 700R4? I’ve seen references to differences between aftermarket and GM, but not within GM.

So if there are differences, how can they be identified? Any pics available? Or is this a non-issue and all are the same?

The only auto paired with TPI by GM was the 700R4.

Yup, the main difference is that 700R4 linkage exists, and TH350 linkage doesn't.
