ok, Here's the main ones:

1. on top of the throttle body, where the throttle cable wraps around the throttle cam. 13mm
2. follow throttle cable to fire wall: Jam nut and adj. buckle. 13mm
3. @ the transmission, the kickdown lever: ball socket, locknut to cable: 13mm.

If you want to re adjust the whole damn thing here's the procedure:

1. unhook the cable from the tranny and unloop it from the throttle cam.
2. at the tranny, from the bracket to the end of the metal on the cable (the dog and locknut) should be 29mm.
3. Hook the cable to the lever.
4. the firewall cable should hold the dog on the cable in the recess that it's intended for, and just before the throttle opens.
5. the adj. at the trottle plate should be so that the kickdown lever is "pretensioned" between 2 and 3 mm from the rest position.
6. you may need an assistant for this bit: push the throttle pedal down untill you feel the first noticable pressure. the dog in the slot of the throttle cam should be at the same place as when you don't press the throttle pedal, and the throttle should be WOT.
7. with the pedal to the floor, at the point of kickdown, the dog should be against it's stop.

If you email me @:res1ud7r@verizon.net, I'll email you the pdf that contains photos and the procedure.
