Subject: Torque Converter Question

I am soliciting opinions as to what is the 'best' torque converter to use
behind a 360 V8 w/a 727 auto trans. Now, bear in mind price...none of the
$250+ stuff, please...an affordable one (ie < $200) that is perhaps
lighter than the original would be great. Any such animals available? Or
is it even necessary to replace the original? -Lu-

Yes - you want a New Torque Convertor .

The old one is full of grinds - shed from clutch
plates and bands over years of use .

These eventually flow thru the trans - acting
like sandpaper - speeding up the demise of
your Trans.

Clean Cool Trans Fluid - and Lots Of It -
are the Trick to Keeping TorqueCommands
/ TorqueFlite Internals healthy and long lived .

Find that AC condensor & craft up a Cooler .

This method is WAY better than paying
$149.00 for a 'HD Trans. Cooler' somewhere .

Ask for Mark .


Ask for or look on the delta site - 
for a RV Torque Convertor .
for your year / engine AMC .

Probably be for a Wagoneer .







This will add a few hundred extra RPM over stock
before
the convertor fully locks - allowing the engine to
spin up to a higher RPM so it will move the car
with greater Torque / HP - since you are further
up the Bell Curve .

You don't want a 'Stall' convertor - although the
RV unit can be considered a 'Stall Convertor' .

You'd be spinning your engine up to 2,500 RPM
in traffic before the Convertor would finally lock up -
below 2,500 RPM - the Trans will 'Slip' - .

RV convertors add a few Hundred RPMs to ease
the Load Transition from sitting still - to moving
a gread load of Motor Home or Van etc.

ALSO -

by adding a few extra Hundred RPM 'Stall' -
your Transmission won't be 'Tugging' while
you sit at stop lights with your foot on the brakes .

Nice Idea- hUH ?
