SuperRam + TV cable = Kinky
(I can't be the only person to experience this)
I've got a Superram'd 383 that's been on the lift for a good 10 months awaiting work. Now that it's back on the road I've found that the TV cable isn't sliding smoothly. I'm pretty sure it's due to the sharp bend the cable takes as it goes under the superram.
Any hints on making the angle less sharp? The bracket doesn't look like it'd take much slotting (to change the angle) the way it's made, so I'm not entirely sure that's the solution.
Was there a replacement bracket for this situation?

I think the SR part has a little more angle to it...

Yeah, I wanted to see how warm my underhood temps were getting. I found I usually ran at Beef Medium to Beef Well. I read somewhere that you get more power if you can cool it off to Beef Rare..... I think it was in a book by Smokey Yunick or something

If by no consequence to mean = Transmission rebuild in less than 10 miles!That cable lets the tranny know how much throttle you're using. It adjusts clutch force and shift timing as a result.

Worked for me..
