Neil,
 
     Many guys forget the basic thing on carbs and transmissions linkage. If you are not getting full throttle on carbs and are not getting full pressure on the transmission linkage the car will shift too soon. The transmission linkage must be adjusted to full travel until it can go no further when the gas pedal is to the metal. This is a two man operation ---one in the car and one under the car. It must travel the full length  until it can go no further at full throttle.
 
  CAUTION--- If engine is cold the carburetor heat choke is on then you will not get full throttle on carbs or transmission. Most Mopar with dual carbs are not getting full throttle and the owner does not even know it. Carburetors return springs are also a big problem, almost all of them today are wrong------too heavy a return spring will keep you from getting full throttle and full shift pressure to transmission which results in poor performance on street or drag strip. ESPECIALLY ON DUAL CARBRETORS.!!!!
