adjustable vaccume modulator? if i hold mine in first to about 3500 and hit second she brings the wheels off the ground about 3"
 
I'm trying get away from putting it in 1st my self,yes it works fine if I do it,but if just in Dr it's in 2nd before you can blink.

What stall convertor does it have in it?
 
Bone stock,but I can idel at 600,so it's fine,if I had a bigger cam and idel had to be up like 1000 or more ,yes it would be great to have a higher stall speed then stock. I'm not having any stalling
My prob is 2nd is just way too early when using Dr.
 
The governor controls the main shift points. The modulator can only make small changes.

One cheap way to reprogram shift points is to find an original 4 or 6 cylinder trans and rob the governor out of that. The small engine apllications usually had higher shift points. Trouble with this is that finding an original engine/trans combo is getting harder. Hard to know if it's the original trans.

The B&M governor kit that "Bat" listed would be the next best way.

He is correct! If you want to change your shift points, you gotta do it inside the valvebody. Like a shift kit. Any of the Trans. places can fix you up, if you take your T to them and let them Drool and ride in it some.......just tell them what you want and stand back!.....
Its all in the little balls and springs and the holes in those plates.....
