Correct Throttle body and bracket help

I got a minor dilemma here.

I cannot get W.O.T on 1990 EFI 4.9 6cylinder with AOD transmission.

The motor and trans are mix match. [ long story]. I did a complete swap and cannot get full throttle unless I disconnect the AOD TV cable at throttle body.

I know the throttle cable is correct but I'm suspecting incorrect TV cable, or bracket or throttle body.

The reason I said throttle body is because Ford listed different part number for C6 trans and AOD. Other than that nobody got a clue on why there are different part number. I'm guessing the diameter of throttle body or the level assembly.

what about TV cable bracket at the trans? The one I have is mounted on driver side bell housing area.
is there a different bracket???

Can anybody shed some light on this issue?

The more I'm looking at is TV cable but the parts counter person said I got the correct cable, so I'm stumped!

The problem is probably that the C6 uses a kickdown cable and the AOD uses a TV cable. They do different things, so the lever on the TB is probably different. Find a TB in the junkyard from an AOD truck and see if the trans control lever is the same as the one you have.
