Just have one more question; somewhere I read that I should not do WOT downshifts from overdrive 4th to 3rd, that it is better to shift it to manual 3rd and then punch it? I do have the HD 2-3 shift valve which does not do anything in OD [4th].
And in the past I have hit 2nd from 4th in WOT, what are your thoughts on this?
It is good that the old rust bucket is running again. Some day I will share all the areas that I have been fighting rust on it.
Thanks again.

On a 4-3 wot down shift the 3-4 clutch pack stays engaged so that's not a problem. I do constant 4-3 wot downshifts with no issues but in 4-3 downshift the 2-4 band releases, in 4th the forward sprag is not engaged but once in 3rd the forward sprag is applied and comes to a hault which is harder on it.
On a 4-2 wot downshift the 2-4 band stays applied, the forward sprag engages like said but the 3-4 clutch packs release and as they release they are kinda sling shot as they release and rpms build.
On a 3 or 4-2 downshift I usually manually drop it down into 2nd and speed match it a bit.
