65 Barracuda daily driver

In my last post I mentioned that the transmission shifts weird and possibly needs a band adjustment, right?

I just came across this photo that I took when I was dealing with that leaky neutral safety switch. You can see that the front band adjustment lock nut is not touching the transmission case, so it's likely completely loose?! :BangHead:

I will tackle that this as soon as possible. So I read that you are supposed to tighten the stud to 72 in lbs (6ft lbs) and then back off 2 or 2 1/2 turns and tighten the lock nut.

'65 manual says 2 turns for 273 V8
 
Also, did I just get 21.56 MPG with a small block??? Previously I had gotten maybe 13 mpg tops. I started taking photos of the pump and the odometer every time I put gas in the car, or did I forget one? Seriously confused. Even the slant 6 before only got 16-18 mpg. Could it be that that last metering rod change had such an impact? I have to keep an eye on that
