Therefore, they didn't botch it.

I thought pre-81 had the cable? I know my 81 has no cable, just
vacuum, but its transmission was 81 only. My understanding was that
before 81 had the cable and after 81 had the vacuum control box on
the side of the IP. My error, but what models and years have the

Those transmissions do not have a cable adjustment, its strictly vacuum
controlled.
