Hi, car is a 67 stock 727.

I just got the car running and adjusted the kickdown linkage per the FSM.. Car shifts into high gear before I get around the corner and doesn't really act like its using the gears.. It manually shifts fine, but I know this isn't correct..I was told the band adjustment is OK if it shifts fine manually. Any help here??

I have since adjusted the vertical rod for more push and the rod to the carb, the slotted one, is just barely being pushed as per the FSM.. At full throttle the lever on the tranny does not max out in it travel. Have not driven it since doing this as I thought I would ask for help on moparts...

On a side note, I am curious why the rod to the carb is slotted and not just a hole??
