I was cruising down the road yesterday and occasionally getting on it and a few times when I got the good downshift, I noticed that the tach would be well into the red (probably 5500-6000) before it would shift again. Is this normal? I can't remember on any of my other 90-92 305 TPI cars, it just seems awful high according to the redzone on the tach.

Just curious,
Thanks.

 

my auto wont hit the red it shifts right at max rpm 4400rpm its tbi but still same transmission, barely hits yellow

 

Mine is definitely into the red; Doesn't feel like its wheezing out at that rpm, just thought it seems awful high for a TPI motor.

 

Have you tried adjusting your tv cable it isnt that hard and there is nice youtube videos on it.
