My understanding is 1970 was the first year for that in the Turbo 400's.

It was and for ALL GM vehicles w/TH400,not just Chevy,regardless of their Horse Power.It also did help keep service replacements ("H" units) at bay.
I really like it behind the L-78.

I think Rick you and Charley may have just saved a pile of 68/69 engines with TH400. Bad images in my mind. Ok they said 6300 lets try 6500 maybe 7000. Wow what a bang. Where is all the smoke and oil coming from.
For what it is worth I could never get mine to do it between 2nd and third probally the just the driver.

I thought that there were only Left handed Monkey Wrenches

My friend Rick had a 70 L78 Nova w/ T400 brand new. He called it "Houdini" because it would do just as stated here. Pull the shifter (it had the floor mounted shifter with bucket seats & mini-console) down into low, nail it, and not only would the trans shift when it hit ~7K, but the shift lever would physically move up into the 2nd gear position

Yea every GM automatic that I owned including the 200's from the 80's did this..
