(Phew)

The cables aren't yet trimmed to length in the photo.

Dave did you use the return spring hole in linkage for the T V cable . My cable has a 2 inch throw and when I put it in the return spring hole it only gave me 1 1/2 inches of pull , not getting full T V engagement . I have a 88 AOD from a Mustang .

Bobby - I did use the existing hole in the Lokar bracket then had to fab a second bracket to bolt on to that bracket for the cruise control. I do have a fully modified transmission with a different kick down lever - take a look at the TCI trans web site or the Lokar site (here's their lever selection; http://www.lokar.com/product-descrip...4r70w-aode.htm)

One other way around that long throw for the TV/kick down may be to shorten the OEM lever on the transmission - plus there may be an OEM tranny lever that has a shorter carb end throw.

Dave I went and ordered a bracket for it figured take out the trouble . Matter of fact it should be here today . One thing I see is the different button on them , I have the block style with a pin that goes in about a 1/4 inch hole . I seen they made 2 style's of TV cables and hope I don't have to send it back .
