    25-2700 stall, PTC converter, mostly street

(He's got a '62 Econoline pickup) He has beautifully restored the entire rig, rebuilt the engine and tranny, 9" ford, etc. The torque converter he had built is a 3000 rpm high stall. Long story short, it is coming...

    Torque converter question

    Will a high stall converter affect the performance of the tranny, other than from a dead stop? I understand how important they are in a performance build for getting the 'jump' off the line, but is that where the advantage ends? Or do they affect shifting as well? I'm guessing a shift...

    Breakaway (?) torque converter?

    I don't know what they are, "breakaway" torque converters. I know I don't need a lockup torque converter, and I'm narrowing my search, but occasionally I come across these "breakaway" converters. Is this an option that can be used on any transmission? Or would only specific transmissions use...

    I am starting on the process of swapping out my 318 for a 360, the donor truck is a 1989 3/4 ton. It does NOT have an overdrive tranny... At least as far as I can tell.

    Flawed test? What gears have I?

    I want to find out what gears my 8 3/4 has... So I marked the driveshaft and the right rear wheel. I carefully rotated the tire one full revolution. The driveline rotated just under 1 1/2 times. I checked it 3 times. What the heck ? Makes no sense. Does it matter that the car is on jack...
