[DML] Adjusting the throttle cable



I recently checked my full-throttle switch situation to discover that
my throttle spool is not rotating completely when the accellerator
pedal is completely depressed.  This leads me to believe I haven't
actually fully opened the throttle on my '81 automatic.

Looking at my accellerator pedal, the stop screw, although sticking
out quite a bit, already allows the cable to go back into it's outer
tube as far as possible, so it doesn't look like I have room for
adjustment there.

Can anyone describe the process (or point out a reference) of setting
up the cable / spool situation so that it travels from full throttle
to idling properly?  I couldn't find anything in my service manuals. 
Too basic?  :-)

Thanks,
--Greg
