You burnt up the 3-4 clutchpack.
If the tv cable was not set up properly, with the correct brackets for that carb, and/or it was not adjusted properly, that may be the root of the problem.
Regardless, trans will require a total overhaul, or replacement, as will your torque converter.
I strongly recommend learning all about how the tv system works, and installing the correct parts to prevent you from frying the new transmission.
