Transmission problem
1962 Chevy Bel Air V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

350small block, 350 auto trans. I recetly removed distributor and had trouble getting back in correct place, but ok there now. Problem is now trans is not shifting correcty, it is staying in gear to long. Anything I could have moved or not put back correctly? The problem started the drive right after I got things back in order with the distributor. thanks for the time. Dan
