I know only enough about these transmissions to be dangerous, but it may be that the throttle valve (TV) cable is out of adjustment after working on your carb. Careful because driving the car with the TV cable misadjusted can cause transmission damage. The TV controls line pressures, shift points, part throttle downshifts and detent downshifts. The TV cable connects to the carb throttle linkage/bracket on the carb. You might check out bowtie overdrives, tci, and others on-line for info on correct adjustment. Hope this helps!
