Cross Drive Hydramatic question

Didn't know where to put this, figured it would be seen here.

1964 Cadillac-Gage M114. Had from the factory a Chevy 283 166 B.H.P engine running through a GM  Cross Drive Hydramatic 305MC 4 speed automatic.To me it a slant pan Chevy truck Hydramatic but enough differences to make adjustments not workable  With most everybody swapping LS engines in place of old school Small Blocks I picked up a 3000 mile 383 c.i. 450 h.p. Chevy crate engine for 2 grand. I need to adjust the line pressure to make is shift more positive. Put a modified Torus unit in to up the stall speed, extra steels and fiber discs to take the "slide" out, and added a B7M Hydro shift kit to make it a manual shift automatic. Got the Tech Manual #  TM2330-224-10for the entire vehicle and tells every thing including a reference to adjust Line Pressure if shifting is soft. No tech on how to adjust it. Anyone work on these when the were in use from 1962 to 1979?

 I got everything I needed from Fatsco for it works well shifts okay but needs to be a bit firmer on the shift, just a bit less positive than I want. I will probably just live with it in the end
