TV cable

ok i have been reading the archives about setting the TV cable and all that, and from reading all that i still have 2 questions...one of them is pretty stupid...which one is the TV cable?? is it the one that looks like a brake cable on a bike??...also,, when i was doing my engine swap, that line got pulled a little so it wouldnt be in the way for the swap. so it was moved back and forth a few times,, would this mean i need to adjust it before i drive my car? i dont need to blow out the tranny. also..well this is the 3rd question, but ohh well...can someone better explain "moving back the TV for firmer shifts?"
Thanks

tv cable adjustment:

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.

This is how transfixleo has us do it to get the correct adjustment.
