Re: [AMC-List] Trans for 232 six

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recall with GM powerglides that the 6 cyl got a higher stall converter 
than the V8. I swapped the one from a '66 Pontiac Strato Chief wagon 
(Canadian with 283 and 2 speed auto) to my '66 Nova with 194 and powerglide 
and vise versa. The end result was the wagon perked up nicely (I could do 
burnouts all day long with that tired motor till I broke the frame doing 
jumps from the upper parking lot to the lower lot at welding school when I 
got impatient waiting to go home and someone had abandoned a truck in the 
only driveway) and the Nova took off at much higher speed from a stand 
still. (It's that inline 6 low end torque liking the lower stall better)

it might not be any different.  i'm pretty sure i saw a
crossover
between 232s and 290s in the mitchell interchange.  the v8's
higher
torque would give a higher stall.
