Default 92/93 Trans throttle valve TV CABLE ????

I am in the process of removing the ASR unit under the hood. I have a Camaro throttle cable in hand which solves half of the problem. The QUESTION is "What do I do with the TV cable for the 700r4?"
After a forum search I can't find any guidance.

The ASR was part of every Corvette LT1 build so you're in an area that isn't 'common ground'. It could certainly be an adventure. If you had an F-body side by side with your Corvette it might offer up some visuals for a solution.

Why remove the ASR?

Without a side by side I believe it's likely a 'foolish' project to start on. You mention 'in the process' so maybe it's a little late.

Adventures I don't need. I had many of those. Being retired I have lots of time. Being a resident tourist at Disney becomes boring after the 250th visit.

Many c4 owners (92/96) have pulled their ASR units. However, I failed to recognize they were all 6 speeds. I had installed an electronic unit that actually turned off the ASR when starting the car years ago but it finally died.

I'm bored, looking for nonbusiness projects to occupy my time.

Does the TV cable connect to the ASR motor, or the throttle body?

EDIT
You may need the TV cable for a 1993 Camaro Z28.

The TV Cable on (92/93's) connect to the ASR.

Thanks my 93 is a manual.


I understand the 93 Z28 has a TV cable that connects to the throttle body. It may also need the 93s throttle body and cable bracket, but I'm not sure.

TV cable F-body '93

http://parts.nalleygmc.com/showAssem...rimLevel=25288

You actually need a 'side by side' for comparisons. If you had a functional by-pass I'd certainly consider duplicating that again. There's no images that show the throttle body with both connected or the linkages/levers involved. A '93 F-body FSM might be a solution. Visit a local dealer and see if there's a F-body FSM hanging around or hit one of the other forums and ask for some images of their linkages. There's always GOOGLE - that sometimes offers up many solutions. The GOOGLE search functions work a little bit/much better if you're looking for combined word groups/strings than most forum searches. Most forum searches regardless of how it's entered it looks and will display every word of a multiple word string.

As close to a 'side by side' as I can get you quickly!

There's a throttle cable bracket and a '93 throttle body for an F-body on eBay - 2 listings. I used 'lt1 Camaro throttle body" as a search and both were in a short list and ZOOMABLE!!

You don't need a 'side by side' it just makes it easier.

Thanks for the information.

I did a massive research upon receipt of your first reply. The results
indicate this to be a larger project which may not prove cost effective.
The Vette intake manifold lacks the necessary bracket mounting nodules found on the '93 Camaro manifold.
Could I design and build the necessary mounts and bracket? 30 years ago, no question. Now, I just don't want to. Thanks for the attention and help.

When I did my Auto conversion I graphed the 700 cable mount to my bracket since I couldn't find a cable off a 93 Vette that went to the ASR. I used a TV cable from a Z28 that goes from the trans to the throttle body.

Thanks for the reply. In that the vette manifold lacks the mounting points for the cables found on the Camaro manifold, what was your solution? How did you finally mount the throttle cable as well as the tv cable to the intake manifold.

As a secondary thought what was the TIME element to run and finish the tv cable installation?

I appreciate the response.

It is not the manifold that lacks what you need. You need the bracket, cable, and throttle body.

I don't have the complete fuel injection for the 93 LT1 but one of the few things I have is the manifold, and throttle body. It already has the exact same bracket on that I linked to on ebay. The throttle body does not have a place for the cable.

PS
There are 2 Different LT1 intake manifolds, and 1 for the LT4.
Here is a site that backs this up.
