Sweeeet!Thank you, glad to hear!
Been following your build👍
Nice car! Wishing you a safe test drive and good luck with your car.Many thanks!
I am only trying to help. On street driven cars the lowest RPM stall that will enable the driver to spin the rear wheels is the most desirable. Higher stall may spin the tires more,will reduce horsepower between the engine and the rear wheels and lower fuel efficiency under cruising conditions. On some cars the stall has to be modified to enable the car to idle in gear. A reminder as to what stall speed is. It is the maximum RPM that can be obtained from the engine when the transmission is in gear and the rear wheels are locked. Reasons for changing the stall on a race car are different and have a lot to do with the type of racing.No problem, I always appreciate help but I had to make a change and this converter has been used by friends so it was highly recommended...but you never know what you have until its been tested so I just have to wait for the first test run!
I have just read your recent post on replacing seals to stop dripping fluid from your 350 transmission. The number one source of dripping fluid when a car with a 350 transmission is parked for a period of time is the front pump "O" ring. The next most common leak sources are the selector seal, speedo seal and "O" ring. The filler tube seal is also a common cause of leaks. The pan gasket is often blamed for the leak but is not usually the cause. I think you may be disappointed in your choice of torque convertors. A stall RPM of around 3000 in a first generation Camaro will make normal driving feel mushy on acceleration. That feeling is worst on initial pull away. 3000 stall works well at full throttle like in a drag race. The lowest stall that enables you to spin the wheels on pull away is the most efficient for the car, engine combination. A stall speed of around 2500 RPM usually works well in a first generation Camaro when the car is street driven. Just my opinion
