cepx111 - Where would you recommend sending the converter to have it checked out?
Tod74 - lol...I am not insulted at all. My carb throttles are opening all the way. But that was good advice as often times I get so focused on one thing I forget to check out other options.
I was also told that because I am running a single plane intake with a manual / automatic valve body that the "kickdown" passing gear line was never connect to the intake from the tranny. If that wasn't connected properly that the transmission wouldn't get anough vacuum to apply enough pressure to the clutches to make them work properly. Hence my transmission is going to need to be rebuilt. They also said that if I go to a full manual valve body that I wouldn't have to worry about hooking up the "kickdown" line. Does this make any sense to you guys? Thanks!
