Transmission's acting weird?
Drove my '66 earlier and realized something odd: my auto-tranny wasn't shifting. It stuck in first gear until I hit about 20-25, and then wouldn't leave the next gear until I passed 40. It seems to suddenly have a very set shift point?

Ah-haaaah. I found the culprit. When I had the engine rebuilt, they put a larger nozzle for the vacuum hose than the actual hose that was used. They glued a larger piece of hose to the smaller hose so that it would fit the new fitting.
I had to take it off the other day to set the idle and the glue broke, so I put on this adapter that fit the hose perfectly. I guess it was some kind of plastic, though. It melted. It was sitting right on the temperature hose from the carb.
Thanks for the help! Greatly appreciated. Now I can get that fixed.
