Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary model. Original L82 engine, 700r4 trans, edelbrock intake, thorly headers, rack&pinion steering, mono rear and front spring, MSD 6A box
Drove the vette to work today and noticed that she wouldn't shift into second until I reached 3700 RPM and shifted into 3rd at 3200RPM. What's the deal?

Found the problem. Bad rubber hose into the back of the intake. Replaced and she shifts perfect now.
