I have had the carb rebuilt and the hot rod shop thinks I may have a bad TC on my 57 Bird. When you put in reverse, it has a tendency to die unless you give it gas (good push of the pedal) Sometimes will do that when you start out moving forward from park as well. Never did this before I had the dist & carb rebuilt. Is there a way of testing a TC without tearing the tranny out to get to it? If you have a bad TC does it act up all the time and how would that "acting up" be?



Appreciate your input.
