91.5 should have a factory crank trigger and tach harness under the dash

msd has an adjustable chip pn 8677 1000 rpm to 3000 rpm like a little potentiometer plugs right into shift light.

Not all 91.5's have it, mine does not. I think all 92's and 93's do.

zip tie the TV cable open and adjust to your liking and when you want the shift points. I had my trans shifting at 2700rpm+ this summer while pulling and racing
Be careful using the TV to adjust shift-points as the TV also adjusts hydraulic pressure to the clutch-pacs, etc. Too loose, and you may slip a clutch if the pressures aren't high enough to accommodate your power level.

Thanks for the advice. My problem really is that where I have the tv cable set now the 1-2 shift happens at 3000 and the 2-3 shift happens at 2500. I need to turn up the line pressure some in the trans and figure out how to move the 2-3 shift to 3000 also. Then I can back off the tv cable to shift at 2700-2800 then I would be happy. But I don't know how to adjust the shift points seperately from one another.
