Whats are the steps for throttle cable adjustment?
Whats are the steps for throttle cable adjustment?
I just installed a 52mm BBK TB, and either I have the cable run wrong, or it needs to be adjusted to the new length, because I'm pretty sure its not opening all the way. In a couple of hours someone else will be home, and I can see if it is, but I'm pretty sure its not.
Does anyone have a picture of the proper TB cable route for a LT1/LT4?
My manual is somewhere in the mail, I hoped it was going to get here before today, but I still dont have it.
Thanks!

follow the cable away from the TB and there is a small black plastic box on the line probably 6 to 8 inches from the ASR box. There is a button on the small black plastic box and if you push this button in (it's hard) you can adjust the cable length and get it where you need it - you'll probably have to adjust it more than once. Let me know if this makes any sense

There is a small black plastic box that seems to connect the TB to the ASR, but thats only 1 maybe 1.5 inches from the ASR. When I follow the TB cable, I can't find a button anywhere else.
This isn't my car, but I highlighted what I'm talking about.
I can't seem to seperate the clips to open up what's in side it, if there is even something in there.

Looks sweeet Toy!
Thanks for getting back to me. I was assuming the button was covered by part of the plastic cover, but I guess I was looking at the button itself all along. It sure doesn't seem like a button!

You have to make sure the ASR stays aligned during the adjustment. I believe in the shop manual there is a detailed procedure. I seem to remember you need a 1/8" screw bit which goes thru a small hole in all the disks in the ASR unit and keeps them lined up correctly. I bought two bits becuase the first one broke when I was adjusting the disks.

I adjusted mine several times when I put on my new TB but I never touched the ASR. The ASR is working ok so maybe I just got lucky?
