Older 727's when you rug it is would downshift all the way to first. Part throttle kickdown (from 3 to 2) first showed up in /6 trannies in 1967. LA got it around 70/71. Big block 727 got it much later. Make sure you adjust the rods/levers properly. There is a difference of rods between 2bbl and 4bbl,and also when swapping from the original motor to the 5.9 you have now.

The TP lever on the '65 transmission is longer than that used on most later units, if you can try to find the lever from the original Durango and it should work like the original.
