Holley Carb with AOD Tranny/T.V.

Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of info on this,
just bad experiences.

I have a 1992 T-bird that threw 2 AOD transmissions
due to incorrect T/V adustment. I thought it was BS, but
it was confirmed by a trans rebuilder, my mechanic and my
parts guy. The problem is, unlike an old vacuum modulator
which just made it shift weird, The T/V slides the trans in
and out of O/D. If the cable is incorrectly set, you WILL burn
up the O/D and then the rest of the trans. I personally don't
know anyone who performed your mod, so I don't know how to proceed.
Just beware that maladjustment can destroy your trans in under 100
miles. I'd recommend small adjustments, drive it, and keep adjusting
until it shifts at the right shift points. The important is the O/D,
because it can screw up without you really noticing it- trust me on
that one. Hope it all works out for you. --Paul

p.s. trans for that thing is $700.00+ for rebuild.
