I put a 700r4 in my El Camino early last year, had same problems, and ended up finding a a good shop to work on the valve body, even though the trans was rebuilt - they fitted an aftermarket TV sleeve that solves a lot of the factory problems; even a little dirt from one of your cooling lines could cause it not to shift properly; and finding the right spot on the TV cable adjustment is critical. I also used the Bowtieoverdrives setup for my 4-barrel Holley. Their kit sets the TV cable bracket right where it belongs so cable adjustment is less tricky. Hope you get it sorted out - I was ready to dynamite mine after wrestling that trans in twice, but it's drivern perfectly since the fix.
