Sounds like you have the shift pawl out of adjustment. You have a turbo 350 or a 400?

Can't help with the tranny problem but the last Edelbrock I went through tuned pretty easy, you can order the jets, metering rods and other tune up parts from them.

The other cable next to the carb is the transmission kick-down cable, you'll need to attach that to the bellcrank that the throttle cable is on but on the bottom of the bellcrank, the results that you want is when you open the throttle with the pedel the trans cable is being pulled, this kicks the tranny into "passing gear" when you get on it.

neato... but still no reverse! does anyone know what the other 2 check balls in the tranny are for? cause the instructions told me to remove all but one..so i'm thinking that might be it.
oh and what it the kick down cable is ALWAYS pulled...what would that do...?
