Re: High Stall Convertor

77 TSM says:

232   904     1700-2000  (1850+-150)
258   904     1850-2150  (2000+-150
304   998/727 1950-2250  (2100+-150)
360   727     1700-2000  (1850+-150)

Parts book lists only 1 converter for the 904 in 1977  812-7450  so the
difference in stall speed may be only due to the difference in engine power.
