Default Re: Fordomatic and sending units

To adjust the transmission rod you need a 1/4" drill bit. You take the throttle bell crank and position it with the 1/4 drill bit placed in the positioning holes to center the bell crank. this is where you make your adjustments for transmission and for your throttle as well as pedal height.

Once you get your bell crank locked in place loosen the jam nut on the transmission rod and remove the keeper. pull the transmission rod up against its internal stop and adjust the clevis to slip easily onto the throttle bell crank. Once you do this remove the clevis from the bell crank and turn it 2 1/2 to 3 turns counter clockwise. 2 1/2 turns is recommended but it says do not exceed 3 turns. This positions the lever off the internal stop as well as setting the proper position for the transmission shift points. I have mine in my '56 set at 3 turns out and it seems to work fine as far as I can tell.
