Band adjustment?

While I'm replacing the tranny fluid in my 63 Polara 500 (383), I'm
going to try adjusting the bands, which I haven't done before. Should
I follow the Service Manual and torque them to 72 inch lbs, then back
off 2 turns, or is there a better way? I've seen techniques where you
turn the drive shaft, and also Don's talked about "pulling the leaver
down 1/4 inch". I gather using the factory method can result in some
overlap in 2nd and 3rd?
As always, thanks. Sorry for always asking basic question; but I'm
learning and trying.
