Ford AOD Transmission TV Cable Routing Diagram - 7F042 Cable & Lever Views

This document is a labeled illustration of the AOD (Automatic Overdrive) transmission TV (throttle valve) cable routing on a Ford V8 engine with an upper intake manifold. The main view shows the engine from the front-left, indicating the routing of the TV control cable (Ford basic part number 7F042) alongside the accelerator cable, past the oil dipstick tube, down to the transmission TV control lever, where the cable end is protected by a boot covering containing the return spring. An arrow indicates the front of the vehicle for orientation. Two detail insets are provided: View U shows the attachment of the TV control cable at the throttle body/upper intake manifold linkage, and View W shows the cable's connection at the transmission TV control lever with its boot and return spring. A reader can learn how the TV cable is routed from the throttle linkage to the transmission, where its two attachment points are, and the identity of related components (accelerator cable, dipstick tube, upper intake manifold, boot/return spring). The image carries a 'Steve83' watermark and no date or model-year applicability statement.
