Did the vacuum line get hooked up to the modulator? It will rev like crazy if it's not hooked up before it will shift.

did you torque the valve body when you put it on. there could be some valves sticking. could be the governor too. how well did you clean everything when rebuilding this. did you flush the cooler and lines and change the converter.

It came completely apart and was spotless going back together and all went back together with proper torque specs according to the book I got I also don't have the kick down hooked up yet I've read several other post saying it's not needed but It doesn't sound right
