Default C4 Transmission. Car moves on cold starts.

This may or may not be normal. I have a 1966 289 with a C4 automatic transmission. After the car sits for a few days and I go to start the engine for the first time, I notice that the car wants to move a little. Yes, I know it's in "park" and NOT going anywhere, but I do feel it move forward when the key is turned.

Does something in the transmission need ajusting? Bands?

Is it a check ball not keeping fluid in the right place?
