Have to, the propane injector doesn't kick in until then.

I thought mine had a failing B2.  Flaring 3-4 shift, it was in Fourth gear by 25mph.  WOT was better. Downshifting was not a problem, it did that very well.

I did a little research on the shift points and where it should be shifting.

It took 6 1/2 turns of the Bowden adjusting nut in order to get it to shift at 4500 rpm at WOT. Now there is zero flare at any speed or any pedal pressure.I backed out the "T" adjuster on the vacuum modulator 1/2 turn. Smoother shifts.


The car feels a lot faster and much smoother.

Post adjustment. WOT. 1982 300 WOT after Bowden cable adjustment
