That's the same one I'm running. I've had it for over a decade now and no issues. It should treat you well.

Thanks Jm, im excited to install

So this morning i installed the corrector geometric holley bracket and lower TV bracket.. The bracket actually screwed in with the upper throttle bracket from procomp, so it worked out great.. I can actually move the TV bracket back if the adjustment is too loose etc etc..

I also did alot of searching for 200r4 TV cable adjustments, and seems pretty easy.. Its pretty much pressing in the adjust tap on the cable, pushing in the slider to reset the cable, then WOT (wide open throttle) the slider will slide out and it sets it self and its adjusted.. Then u test drive, know if u dont feel like ur getting the correct shifts then thats when u move the bracket back and repeat the steps.. I guess its all about how u feel the transmission is shifting and if its to ur spec...i checked in my my trans guy and he said the same thing.. If i run into problems to just stop by the shop and it only take mins to do.. I GOT THIS!! lol

Heres alittle diagram and site that might help others adjust the cable:

Heres the TV bracket and holley geometric bracket installed: this is before adjustment.. Slider inside cable..

Heres a pic of the slider out and adjusted after WOT.. So know a test drive and hopefully i got it the first time

nice! 8) To make adjustments you don't have to move the bracket back. You just have to press in the little tab and push the slider in or out ONE click at a time then test drive until your happy with it. One little click makes a big change. I like that bracket, I'm going to look into getting one.

now that im looking at it again, that cable is too loose, it needs to be tight even when idling

WIll do before test drive to be safe:
i will move bracket back 1/2in ,remove tv cable from bracket, push in the "D" adjust tab slide the slider back some making the wire smaller, reconnect the plastic tab back on the corrector, press the gas to full open throttle, and BAM its tight and adjusted,then test drive...Good looking out!!! GOTCHA ALL THE WAY ..Sweet thanks alot bro...
