What turning that Allen screw does is put more tension on a spring that
balances against the force from the vacuum operated diaphram. The harder
you press down on the gas, the less vacuum you have available to move the
diaphram, and the spring becomes the dominant force. Shift point moves up,
and shift becomes a bit harsher. If you feel it is shifting too harsh, back
off the adjustment screw a bit. 1-2 up shift at light throttle occurs when
all is correct at 8 to 14 mph, give or take. 2-3 shift, 25 -35 or so. If
you mash the throttle, then it won't up shift until the governor forces the
shift.

Salem, Or
78 GMC ROYALE 403 w/a Manny tranny that shifts harshly when the throttle is
down. How I like it.
