AOD TV Adjustment
Well I have been building a 75 F-100. I swapped the I-Six for a 351W with a Holley 4bbl. It had a 3 on the tree and I really wanted to get away from the manual drive, especially since my daily driver is a standard drive, so i bought an AOD that had came out of a late '80's Mustang. Well I haven't got to drive it yet because i was having trouble adjusting the TV cable. I have been told there is a bracket that goes on the carb to help with the adjustment but have been unable to find one. Do I really need it or can I just adjust it without the bracket? Its the stock cable with the block type adjuster on the end. Another question, can I use the mustang flywheel or do I have to get a new one for the 351?
Thanks for any help!!

AOD TV Adjustment
Basic Idea for AOD TV cable adjusting is: TV lever must rotated same degress that Carb T. body. I mean rotational ratio is 1:1
After that you can make some light ajustments to TV cable adjuster to get soft shifting.

AOD's CAN BE A MILE OFF ON TV CABLE ADJUSTMENT AND STILL KIND OF FEEL GOOD, BUT THE TRANS WON'T LAST. dON'T CHEAT ON THIS ONE. GET A GAUGE ON LINE AND AT AN IDLE YOU'LL USUALLY SEE ABOUT ZERO....AND AS SOON AS YOU START BREATHING ON THE GAS PEDAL YOU'LL SEE THE PRESSURE START TO RISE. tHE BOOK DOES IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT BUT YOU'LL BE SAFE OR IN THE BALL PARK AND THEN YOU CAN FUDGE IT A LITTLE

Yea, sorry guys I forgot recomend start using a high presure setting and then going down until get good shift. I there is a presure gauge from 0 to 30 psi, then do this:
1° Install pressure gauge at TV pressure port. Engine off.
2° Start engine, apply service brake, put AOD in Neutral pos.
(Be sure AC is off, engine is at normal Temp, DON'T PRESS GAS PEDALL WHILE GAUGE IS INSTALLED OR WILL BE BLOW OUT)
3° Adjust TV cable until gauge reads 0.5 to 1.5 psi at idle.
4° If AOD is used on trucks I recomend set it to 2 to 4 psi TV pressure. This will get cluch packs extended life loosing a bit confort.
5° Turn off engine, remove pressure gauge.
6° Be sure carb can get WOT pos. (Engine off)
