Powerglide Problem - Please Help! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a Powerglide on my 68 behind my 350 until I can afford a 700R4. Anyway, it shifts into 2nd way early and also does not kickdown when I want to pass someone. In addition, there is no vacuum line attached to my carb from the tranny. I have been researching the issue but am confused. Do they all use a vacuum line? Do they all have governers. How do I adjust the detent rod I keep reading about. All of the articles say at the carb but I cannot find where it connects. Can someobody please help educate me? Thanks.
