lee you are correct.
Putting the TV cable on the carb will be a challenge. you'll either have to make a custom bracket or get the setup from an 84 mustang. they were the only AOD equipped carb'd car ford had.
it is CRUCIAL that the TV cable be set dead nuts on, otherwise its like lee said. smoke and crunch.
++or you could always put a manual valve body in it and forget the whole thing
