Torque Converter stall ??

A 3200 stall converter "as advertised" is just a blanket statement - trying to get the buyer an "idea" of how loose a converter is. Stall RPM's is measured by "flash stall", or, the sudden mash of the gas and what the converter flashes up to. The engines power will determine what that number is. For instance, a 3200 converter may flash to only 2700 behind a 318 2bbl but 3500 rpm's behind a decent 408. As far as "slippage" at cruise can and will be true if you have a 299.99 off the shelf special. Trust me, GER taught me that years ago :D A "good" converter will respond totally different these days....
