My application is a small block 350 (vortec heads, Comp XE268 cam, Edelbrock 1406 carb. Carb has the Edelbrock TV corrector plate attached and TV bracket positions the cable horizontal and in-line with the TV cable stud on the carb. In other words, I feel like I have the bracket/geometry correct.

I am in the process of installing a 700R4. Before startup I had the pan off to try to ensure I was getting the TV cable adjusted correctly. After the WOT ratcheting out I was getting a slight amount of play between the TV lever/cam and the TV plunger. I noticed that the TV plunger did not fully extend when there was play between the lever and the plunger. I could move it further outward from the TV bushing and valve body. Is this normal? I took a short video to show in more detail. Hope this link works:

Thanks!

 

There's a bit of pressure on all the parts in there with the engine running, so that's pretty normal. The plunger will get pushed out in actual operation.

 

What is shown in the Video does not concern me too much as long as the Spring-Pressure from that point then further Inwards...
Is nice and Firm.

If this is not the situation, report back...
A Firmer Spring may be required.

NOTE: Too Firm of a Spring will cause unwanted behavior/ problems.
