So this last weekend I finished up the 400 swap. I decided to try a mechanical modulator to keep an automatic valve body. My TV cable was already set pretty tight for my 200... but on the modulator I had to loosen the cable to the MAX otherwise it didn't have enough slack to go WOT. Now, the other thing I noticed was that on my test drive it felt kinda sluggish, and seemed like it was shifting pretty early. I'm not sure of the RPM's because the car has no Tach right now. I guess this weekend I'm going to try the vacuum modulator with a check valve and air bleed on the modulator side and see if that makes it any better.
But my question is for any of the other guys with the mechanical modulator... Did you have to let the adjustment all the way out on the TV cable, or am I missing something. It just seemed kinda hokey, because with it adjusted for enough slack for the throttle plate to be able to open all the way, the wire cable does not spring back all the way into the plastic housing.
Just wondering if that is how other guys have it set up also.
Thanks,
Doug
