tv cable, carb spacer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So, my truck was kicking down a gear going up hill kinda early in my opinion. Put in a 2" carb spacer, now it kicks down with hardly any pressure on the accelerator. So, I looked up the procedure for adjusting the tv cable, but couldn't find what tab you pull out before you open the throttle. Nothing I found online made sense with what I had going on. This morning, I was going up a hill, it kept kicking down a gear, and shifting back up. Figured if I floored it, at least it would stay in the lower gear and make it up the hill. Just kept dropping down, and shifting back up. Any tips on adjusting this?
