Thank you THE FERMINATOR for your input. I don't want to keep busting my knuckles on this if it's going to go out. Any more input would be appreciated.thank you everyone
If your planning on fixing it one way or the other I'd go ahead and get the TV cable set up correctly. You never know maybe you'll get lucky. The go to Vegas LOL
The V6 cable would be 2 inches or so shorter than a V8 cable. Line pressure with the cable disconnected is only around 40-60 psi and going down the road should be around 120-150, so with it disconnected it's going to be really rough on it. Go ahead and fix the cable as you're going to have to regardless(even if you end up rebuilding it, the cable will have to be fixxed), but don't be shocked if it still has problems.
