Just a precaution on rebuilt 904 transmission

InRogue said
I'll try to keep this short. I bought a 318 with a 904 to put in my Rambler, yes an American Rambler....anyway I rebuilt the 318 but not the 904 as the previous owner said it was good. I changed fluids, and filter and set the kick down attached to Carter AFB....well it lasted about 50 miles. I ended up replacing the transmission with a rebuilt TCI unit. My question is...I want to make sure I have the K/D cable hooked up right before I drive off, so I already bought a Edelbrock Mopar linkage arm to attach to the carb to make sure the ratio is right, seemed like it was before?. To adjust with a cable do I just make sure at WOT the cable is pulling the trans arm all the way open? What about at idle....no free play?

The basics are that when the throttle is wide open the TP is at full travel also.
It can be tuned to taste if you want.
In my case I have a small clamp on my cable to keep it from returning all the way back down.
This raises my shift points a little over the stock lowest light throttle setting but still allows full throttle travel without hitting the end of the TP cable travel first.
The red dot is where the little clamp is on the cable.
