having problems with a c-6

when i bought my 79 f 250 tranny was a lil goofy then it started to get bad. i would drive, engine would rev way up and once u let off the gas kaplunk it would shift into second. after that i would just shift it on the go. now it hardly moves. but reverse still works like a charm. checked fluid and that is still up were it should be. i did notice that the vacuum modulator line was not connected to where ever its suppose to be up by the engine. its hooked up on the tranny and i dont kno if that is it or if the tranny is shot. thanks for any kind of help in advance.

no vacuum to the modulator = no shift condition, or flaky shifts. hook the modulator up to unported vacuum, and you should be back in the game.
