Re: TV cable adjustment damage

[QUOTE=clinebarger;4552402]What you want is a 2-4 lbs preload at idle, & bury the TV plunger at WOT, With the cable unhooked the pressure reading is the minimum regulated pressure, You want 2-4 lbs above that with the cable connected.

After you do the WOT set procedure & you cant get the correct preload at idle....This means the TV spring is the wrong length for your set up (The BTO kit comes with a TV spring)

My TV cable has no preload at idle. There is between 3/8" and 1/2" of slack. I'm using an Edelbrock Performer with a cable adapter from Jegs. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performan...57301/10002/-1

If I'm reading your right, my TV spring is the wrong length for the Jegs cable adapter?
