68 'Cuda 318, 727 downshift to first hard

I agree it sounds like it's the adjustment but you shorten the rod to back it off, not lengthen it. That adjustment is real touchy sometimes. For that reason I adjust it no more than 2 turns at a time.

Fishy 68 has it right. I was bassackwards :oops:. Shorten the rod a couple turns at a time...
