There are only two connections to the trans that you need to worry about for proper shifting - the vacuum line to the modulator and the kickdown cable. The vac line simply needs to be connected to a manifold vacuum source. The cable needs to be connected to the throttle lever on the carb such that the cable us fully pulled out at wide open throttle. You will need to find or fabricate a bracket to hold the cable sheath. Usually these cables snap into a square hole in either the bracket or (for the 69-72 cars) the firewall. A good source for the bracket and cable is a 1970s vintage Olds with TH350. If that doesn't allow the trans to shift properly, there's another problem with the trans.
