The tech at summit thinks I have a ford throttle linkage on my holley which has my geometry corrector in the wrong spot. I need to search for some pics of ford linkages I suppose.

well I have the right throttle bracket. I played with the detent. Running it click by click by hand and pushing the button. Now it will self adjust but it only goes one click. With the quadrajet set it was out 3 to 4 clicks if I remember right.

If there is no flex at the throttle/TV bracket and it is self adjusting at all, I'd say that's probably OK.  But the only way to be 100% sure would be to pull the pan and visually inspect the position of the TV piston when a helper holds the throttle at WOT.

putting the rear axle of the truck up on jack stands and running it in gear to see if it shifts, bad idea right? Right now its just a cab sitting on the frame. can't actually drive it.

a lil, you seen the cartoons when some one is on an exercise bike and the bike comes off the wheel stand then they go fly into something it would prob be about the same affect. but if your going to do it use some wheel caulks and make sure nothing is in front of you but unless you live on the highway or a high traffic area the road should be good enough not like your going to the store in it ;) but i would suggest it in less you live out in the country.
