We are running again!! happy! happy! happy!
I replaced the governor assembly, after removing the header. The old governor gear did not look very worn. I also replaced the vacuum line on the vacuum modulator (only the rubber section) on the tranny, and installed a new hose on the vent fitting on top of the tranny to redirect any vented fluid outside the frame rails away from the headers. It drives like a dream again, and shifts normally. Thanks to everyone for your help!!!!
