700r4 with edelbrock carb

[pimpin_85gmc]

i will be putting a 350 in my truck it originally had a 305, it has a 700r4 and im going to have a edelbrock carb on it, i see lots of kits out there for the tv cable but not sure what all i need for it to run right and not kill my transmission. Thanks

There is no simple answer you are going to need a TV cable possibly a universal TV cable,you are going to need a correction lever for the carbureator,you are going to need a cable bracket that will bolt to your manifold and keep proper geometry with your correction lever. And you should have a pressure gauge to check your set up,and make sure the valve body itself is in good operating condition .I ve put up 14 screen shots explaining TV operation and problems. I believe B&M on their website has diaghrams for TV geometry and transmission pressures.

Double tap on the pressure test to dial in the TV cable before you move it. A pressure test kit is like $25 on Amazon. Make sure you get one with a gauge that goes up to at least 300psi.

Nick has the pressure test specs on his 700r4 page. Do it wrong and you will burn it up in less than 5 miles

so does this look like what i need, i already have multiple pressure gauges so ill be fine on that part

That looks right, but I would go with the Edelbrock specific and not the universal kit if if that is the kind you are running. Also, I purchased that TV cable before just to put a fresh one on when I rebuilt the trans and it was longer than the original so I didn’t use it. I didn’t want a bun CJ c of extra cable bulging into the exhaust or something. I feel like all those universal ones are good but not great

 

[pimpin_85gmc]

alright, yeah i was gonna go with edelbrock stuff just wanted to make sure im getting the right stuff

@Broken85 , I have a holley 670 street avenger, say I wanted to run that I would still buy all the same stuff just for a hollry right?

I expect that would work fine. Check on Holleys customer service though. You can email them your question with both part numbers and they are usually really good about getting back to you in a day or so.
