    Governor controls shift RPM's. There are kits found to modify the shift points via the govenor.

    Edit: Please, mr thumb downer, tell me how the governor isn't what governs shift points. Please, oh genius.

    Properly set lifter preload and you'll extend your useable rev range by 500 rpm on the bottom and on the top.

    Yes, you can, but on that car it requires adjusting the valve body inside the transmission.

    on some of the older ones you can adjust the vacuum modulator on the transmission so it will change sooner or later ! pull the hose off of the modulator and there should be a small screw up in there that you turn !

    the transmission automatically shifts. you can shift at 2,000 3,000 etc. or even at the redline.
