I got mine from Auto Zone. Its made by Spectre and it was around $20. Nice thing about it, it's adjustable...

I just bought mine from the dealer, both the bracket and cable for an '80s pickup with a carbbed small block.

Power can be from anywhere you get 12V while it's running. Doesn't need to be fused IIRC.

Might wanna check out the 700R4 FAQ while you're at it.

Stupid question, but what is a tv cable for? what does tv stand for? not television i dont think!!!

Thanx Dale

Slammed67 · 07-06-2003, 10:39 PM

TV = Throttle Valve. The TV cable "tells" the trans when to shift.

tommie · 07-06-2003, 11:45 PM

don smith,

do you have any pictures of your set up?

Low69CST · 07-07-2003, 01:16 AM

I've got a Lokar set up.

On my '72 I used the brown/white wire for the TCS solenoid (solenoid removed by PO). Not sure if your -69 has the same circuit or not. The wire had a disconnect ~12" from the main firewall connector and was routed in the "gutter." The circuit shares a 4 amp fuse with the radio (stock) and has been working fine for several months. The solenoid doesn't pull that much current, but I would recommend protecting the wire with a fuse of some sort since it is a 12 V source.
Good Luck!

I have pictures of my setup. Will attempt to scan and post later in the week.
