A yahoo search using the following information
196 +flash-o-matic
will give you more than you ever wanted to 
know about transmissions etc. One of the web 
sites that will come up is the following;
http://www.gremlinx.com/AMC-Transmissions.htm 
And all of the data you are interested in and 
then some will be here.

another question. the torque converter
that would be on this. does it have a lock up rpm? if
not, does anyone know what else would fit that would
have a lock up on it? i do not like auto's and never
have. dont know much about them. thanks for the help
and time. hope everyone is having a good weekend.

This is an old transmission, Lock up torque converters
became commonly used in the middle 70's or so. The
lock up torque converter I am aware of was used 
by Packard in the early 50's called an Ultramatic. 
It was a 2 speed transmission with a lock up 
torque converter. It was used by Nash when they bought
V8 engines from Packard the 1st 2 years they offered 
a V8. 
The next time it was used on an AMC product was on 
the MOPAR 727 used on the 360 V8 in 1978 and then 
later on the MOPAR 904/998 on the most 258 I-6 engined
cars in 1980. 
On that old BW transmission it will not be a 
lock up torque converter and nothing will fit 
the transmission that is a lock up torque converter.
 
And Kanter should be able to supply you with engine
parts.
