i have a 64 chevelle LS5 and currently doing a 700r4 install.

and since i am doing the TV cable install. would it be better if i change my throttle linkage to a throttle cable?

any benefits of the cable over the linkage visa versa.

what are y'alls opinions and set ups

If the linkage is in good shape bushings etc use it, if its worn you might like cable better.
When I converted my 64 to BB it made the oem linkage bind because of the angles so changed to a lokar cable setup that is very nice except the price. But find out later that Nova and gen 1 camaro setup can be used and cost much less.

Since my BB sits higher than the sb I replaced the linkage became in a more uphill angle and sometimes bound(not at idle :D), probably could have worked it out or replaced the rod with a BB repro and new bushings but decided to use the lokar setup.
