Ok...I did a couple of things...

I had my kids press on the gas and noticed the throttle linkage wasn't bringing the lever all the way back.

So after putting the kids to bed I just corrected the throttle linkage and readjusted the kickdown linkage...

If all of my transmission problems are a result of my throttle linkage I'm going to feel like such an ***...

if you are going to have one of them not correct for now, make it the carb linkage. having the kick down lever working right is more important to keeping the trans from killing itself and making the car drive-able. not getting that last little bit of WOT can wait.
if the kick down and governor issues are figured out, it will down shift so much better, you might even take a break and enjoy driving it until spring :lol:
