<VV> PG adjustment adventure continues

	I've checked the vacuum modulator at the fire wall using a vacuum  
gauge.  It held 7Hg for about ten minutes before I manually released  
it: vacuum module nixed as the culprit.  I then replaced the hose  
connecting the metal line from the module to the balance tube using  
3/16" inch hose and screw type hose connectors for good measure.  I  
then used a section of old bicycle tube cut to fit, to cover the  
fresh air duct.  I manually inspected the balance tube for leaks.   
Both carburetor connections are new and tight and there are no holes  
in the metal tube. 	After reinstalling the air cleaner assembly, I  
checked the vacuum at the choke pull off hose using the vacuum  
gauge.  I got a fluctuating reading that rapidly went between 7 and  
12 Hg.  As I manually increased the the rpm using the throttle cross  
rod, the Hg reading rose, but still rapidly fluctuated between about  
10-14 Hg.  I have yet to check the PCV valve or the idle up solenoid.
	I topped off the transmission fluid and took it for a spin.  No,  
change.  It is still shifting into D at about 13-18 mph, there is no  
kick down, and it is still kicking like a mule when it shifts from D  
to L.   I also have a sticking parking brake, which I have  
temporarily resolved by putting the car into reverse and stepping on  
the brake - will get to that next.
