Thank you , I'll bet you are right as it's a 722 311 transmission with E/S mode,I found a blocked vacum port on the intake maifold when I get it back together I'll plug it in to that port and see what happens and let you know.

the E/S mode has never worked and as the car is geared very high 1800 at 60 it is slow off the line unless you do a full kick down witch I don't like doing very often on an older car.............
