Adjusted vacuum to 8.1" Hg at idle. 1-2 shift is firm, flaring at 2-3 is gone, 3-4 smooth. Lookin good! Thanks. Now, on to the oil cooler hoses!
Interesting...........the addition of the orifice didn't make much of a difference. Certain people are going to be shocked by that revelation..............

Based upon your original readings, I'm a bit surprised that no orifice was present...........the vacuum levels were quite normal.
