Thanks, Alan, for the info.
What you said confirms everything I had assumed.
I think that is what we'll do. Possibly, order a Turbo Action full manual valve body, remove the govrnor and vacuum modulator and kickdown cable, and have essentially, a "clutchless three-speed" semi-automatic transmission.
I have some friends who have this setup in their Stockers and they all say that the shift quality is firm, but not bone-jarring at low (2,000) rpm's.
I'm hoping that that proves to be true in this case. It will have a fairly loose converter, so that will absorb some of the driveline shock that results from running 100-percent main-line pressure, 100-percent of the time.
I appreciate the time you took to respond to my question.
BTW, I am also very much in favor of a 7.5 pound per horsepower AA/Stock class... Too many cars sitting idle that could race under that parameter.
