You are living a very dangerous life. TV is the most important thing on a 700 r4
I know. But like I said, it shifts in the correct RPM range under part/full throttle and downshifts without issue.
It doesn't have many miles (200-ish) but I know it doesn't take many to kill it. either.

You keep saying it shifts at the right times. Shift times are primarily dictated by the governor, the TV cables primary function is to control the line pressure, insufficient line pressure and you will smoke the clutches.. You are playing with fire. Do you a constant pressure valve body?

I honestly could not tell you. Bought the truck with the engine/trans but did have to adjust the TV cable because it would not shift until way late in the RPM and downshift was almost non-existent.
Guess I need to look up how to check pressure.

Okay things are getting clearer,based on post 14 I thought you were saying you didn't have a TV bracket, I wondered how your transmission lived at all. Now I understand, you have TV just not an adjustable bracket. Read the stuff I told O.P. to read you will be just fine probably need no parts,just a good understanding of function and adjustment.

Works much better at low an part throttle.
The way it was rigged before was fine at full throttle but shifted to soon at anything less.

It is much better and much closer to being right the way you have it now. It still isn't right. The cable needs to be level and straight from the braket to the mount stud on the geometry correction braket. The braket you got isnt for a edelbrock card, its for a holley. Why isn't it for a edelbrock carb? Because it is the wrong geometry and the cable cant be straight and lever. Most people use that sane braket but modify it so it works.
