Next you must redo your passing gear linkage adjustment as shown on page 21 of the 1956 Fordomatic shop manual.
There is no passing gear adjustment (intermediate gear) externally. There is no passing gear kick-down lever. It is a TV rod.

The reason for the initial linkage adjustment(s) are to get the linkages into the ball park as final adjustment(s) are done with a pressure gauge and makes that adjustment more precise and easier to perform.

Also, manuals are updated quarterly, and along with TSB's, will give any updated service procedure(s). The 56 manual may not be up to then 1957 specifications.

You have to follow the procedure outlined in the correct manual, and that starts with proper curb idle speed.
