thats the cable connected from the carb that goes over to the passenger side right?
is their any specific way to adjust it?, or do i just try and see if it gets better or worse? |

YUPPERS!!!
I thought I took a good look yesterday but i didnt know what i was looking for. Sure enough, the vacuum hose to the module was disconected. i shoulda took a better look.But its back to how it was shifting properly now.The freshly rebuilt 350 feels damn nice too! |

I had that same problem a few years back. Took me the longest time to figure out the little elbow vacuum line had a big fat hole worn in it
