Re: How odd -- not really

I have an automatic, assuming from looking at it its the ultramatic. When in low, I can get to about 30 or 35 MPH and she seems to "bog down". In High, its a slow start from a stop, and slow going up hill but can get pretty good speed down hill. as stated in the manual to activate overdrive, push the pedal to the floor, this doesn't seem to do much. There is a switch at the accelerator lever on the fire wall, but I don't see anything (wires) in or around it. Thinking this is the overdrive switch?

Im sure a lot of the issues with bogging down and loss of power up hill are carburetor issues. I rebuilt the carb, and did little to no adjusting as the literature with the rebuild kit demanded... but put it together, put it on, and she cranked right up.
