The Ford C6 uses engine vaccum to sense the shift points. In a diesel engine setup there is a vaccum regulator to accomplish the same thing as in a gas engine.

More than likely it is a C6. If the shift indicator has a circled "D" (for overdrive) it is probably an AOD. But I am not certain they put AODs behind 351 (5.8) that year.

Ford c6 transmission won't shift from 2nd to 3rd with out lifting the thottle?

Likely, your shift linkage from the carb to the tranny has become disconnected. Or, it's designed that your engine is supposed to slow so the transmission can safely shift gears. I say just live with it. It's not causing any problems.


Will a C6 transmission fit a 390 ford engine?

Depends on the C6 transmission you have. They made several variants for different Ford Engine types for the FE and 385 Big Blocks. So For a 390 you will need a C6 that mates to an FE engine.
