VALVE TICK: do you know for sure that you have good oil pressure? How were the valve adjusted? are you sure it is a valve tick? There is a very good way to adjust the valves with the engine not running, that has been posted here by me and others. It is the way that I adjust valves an SBC chevys.

I would assume that the powerglide has a replacement vacuum modulator in it. If you pull the vacuum line off of the modulator and look inside the vacuum fitting you should see a slot to put a small screw driver. might suggest truning it in I THINK a turn or two and see if it makes the shifts later.
