Got a weird one going on, haven't been able to pin it down yet.
TH200 in the Cutlass behaving a bit weird.
Starts and goes fine, shift up 1-2-3 as it should. Come to a long hill, or if you want to pass a slow mover is when it happens.
Put your foot in it and make it downshift, so far so good. Trans makes the 3-2 shift, and with a mighty roar the 260 powers you onward.
Then, upshift 2>3 at the increased speed and RPM and the car just dies.....
Bucks, loses power, has even stalled if you keep your foot in it.
Pump the throttle (thinking it went lean, or emptied the carb bowl) no love there.
Let off, ease into the gas and you can usually keep it running.
Thought it was a carb vac leak causing the issue, but find nothing.
Reset TV cable and seems to shift a bit better than it did but still has the passing gear blues.
Carb accel pump is good, ignition seems fine, trns fluid is clean and full.
