I have the same or similar book on my '68. I read it to be the factory says to adjust the travel so the lever is at the idle position then adjust the linkage for the proper shift points. However, the Lokar cable instructions (and many others in the forums) state the lever should be at full rear at WOT when using a cable. Both adjusments are not posible with the cable. its one or the other or a "balance" point between the two. Thanks !!
