 How to setup your braided TV cable (Installing)

 Step 1 (Installing)
Install the stainless steel braided cable adapter piece provided in the TV Made EZ kit. This adapter must be mounted on the back side of the base plate bracket as shown in the pictures above. Secure the adapter to the base plate bracket with the provided 6-32 stainless steel pan head screws and Allen wrench.
 Step 2 (Installing)
  
Remove the first adjuster nut, the one indicated by the red arrow in the above left picture. Position the second adjuster nut on the threaded cable housing so the adapter plate will be in the middle of the threaded areas once it's installed into the adapter plate. Slide the cable adjuster housing through the hole in the adapter plate as shown in the pictures at upper right and below left.
 Step 3 (Adjusting)
  Screw the first adjuster nut back onto the cable adjuster housing. You're now able to make the proper starting set up of the TV system by screwing these nuts along the threaded area of the cable adjuster housing. Moving the position of these two adjuster nuts along the threaded area of the cable adjuster housing relative to the adapter plate will allow you to "preload" a slight pressure boost. Attach the pressure gauge and hose assembly per the "Click here for pressure gauge installation guide" link at the end of this section.
With the transmission full of fluid, engine at idle, TV cable connected to the cam, preset the idle pressure so there's a minimum of two pounds of pressure higher than the disconnected TV cable reading at idle as shown in step 4.
 Step 4 (Installing)
Note: Edelbrock Pro-Flo 3500 / 3507 shown in pictures, the cam on your system may not look like this, but all TV Made EZ Evolution Two systems have this hole in the cam.

The pictures at right illustrate how to connect the TV cable by inserting the ball into the provided opening on the cam. Once connected, using the adjuster nuts, you need to adjust the cable until you see a 2-4 PSI increase on your pressure gauge above the pressure shown at idle with the TV cable disconnected.
 
Once this preload pressure has been established, even slight gentle forward movement of the TV cable where it exits the TV cable adapter housing should result in instant pressure response on the gauge. This test must be done by gently pulling the TV cable not movement of the Throttle linkage! The pressure response must be evident with even very small forward movements by the TV cable. If you have one of our transmissions, click on the "Click here for Pressure Test procedures" link a the end of this section. Perform the pressure test and call us.
 Step 5 (Adjusting)
You are ready to perform your test drive! We recommend the pressure gauge remain hooked up during all test driving. Pay attention to the reactions caused by the TV system, it is very educational. During the test driving we also recommend Allen wrench supplied in the TV Made EZ kit that fits the cap screw shown within the red circles at left. Start with the cam in the lower position (far left picture), perform a test drive while making mental notes of the shift timing and feel characteristics.
Stop, loosen the attachment bolt, rotate the cam clock wise to the upper position (near left picture), then perform another test drive and notice the difference in shift timing and feel with this set up. You are free to move this cam anywhere along its engineered path with full confidence as long as you check for instantaneous pressure rise with even slight cable movements.
