If you can't find anyone try to adjust it yourself. There is a tab on the cable end you have to push in towards the cable casing. Push tab in and draw back on cable until it stops. Now get into the vehicle and slowly push the throttle as far as it will go (eng not running) and you will hear it clicking (normal) when you can't push any farther its adjusted. It can be "tailored" a bit to move shift points up or down but I don't recomend doing that yourself if your not familiar with the adjustment process and trans function the adjustment affects. Hope I didn't scare ya. BTW, 400's don't have a down shift cable, it's electric. Jim
You also need an additional carburetor linkage bracket to make the TV cable work properly. It is a geometry corrector kit. The TV cable needs just the right travel distance with throttle opening to work right and this bracket makes standard T-350 style kick down linkage on carburetors work with a 700-R4 / 4L60. You can get them for Edelbrock carbs and for Holley carbs.

Easy to install but critical to make the trans work properly.
