Anyway... thank you everyone.
Just as I stated in my first post. Keep pushing the finger lever until all the cable is released. That is the little ring position. Then pull the cable snug by hand and tighten the clamp bolt. With Campy shifters, the thumb button is pushed all the way down rather than the finger lever on a Shimano shifter.
If a frame has not cable tension adjuster, the there is another trick to use. Screw the low limit screw in (CW) 1/2 to 3/4 turn, then attach the cable, then return it to the original position. That puts extra tension on it. It a little hit or miss, but I do it on both of the LOOK 585 frames.
