Stop in for a cup of coffee

cats ?

Good. Maybe it will be a shorter heat wave here too.
I can deal with a couple days. Full week sucks.

Do what you got to do. Nothing wrong with sleeping in to catch up after a long night.

Oh T.C.

Depends.
They used to say never go by the number. Call the converter people, tell them the setup as acurately as you can. Let them identify the t/c based on torque, hp and gearing.

I thought I was smart going to a tighter setup on the T/A T.C. in the 'cuda when I had them overhaul it.
Wrong!
There is less forgiveness in the tuning curves with a tighter converter.
It's a little bit like having a clutch the always engages a bit too soon.
As a result it was a major contributor to my long journey into timing and carburation.

yeah, problem is i don't know my final setup.. and i need a converter as i don't even have a stock one. Using a mild 318 to get the car on the road.. then hopefully next summer a 408 will replace it. So.. mild 318 i'm figuring 2700-2800 and the 408 3500-3600... will see though. Taking me forever to get this thing going.. getting close though..
