TV Cable

So I have been consumed by this LT1 swap and I am getting to the final stages, but have run into a slight snag..... I purchased the Lokar throttle cable, kick down (TV) cable and bracket, and installed them, my question is has anyone else used this set-up on an LT1/700R4? I am questioning the operation of the cable because when I set it for WOT, there is excessive play at the idle position? I had considered redrilling the arm they add to the throttle, but thought I would ask first. Thanks

Re: TV Cable

I see you have a vacuum line with the one way valves on the line from your opti spark distributor, is your motor a 94? and can someone tell me if a 94 has a vacuum line from the opti spark distributor that connects to the intake, like in the picture? on the LT motors
