    Step up piston adjustment is an initial setting of 1.5 turns from fully seated.

I lightly turn screw back and forth to confirm it is seated, then...

    What I like about the 72 -78 trans is the part throttle kick down. It can be added to earlier transmissions. https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/727-tf-3-2-part-throttle-kickdown.26511/page-2

It was added to cars with spirited driving in there use, like police, HP package etc. The windage tray helps keep the oil from get caught up and whipped around by the crank, some lower the...

    Have you had that pan off before? If so how many miles since the pan was cleaned out? I have opened plenty worse transmission pans.
