Re: Stocker Converter Question?
Marc, I was comparing this whole deal to my old old Belair wagon. I ran a 614 in it and all i did was change tires for 1/4 to1/8.When i sold the wagon , Mark Lewis helped the new owner with it ,. They actually replaced the gear with a 557 thinking it would help the 1/4 and hurt the 1/8. Instead it helped both.That car went 1.43 under in Rockingham the same time Lee Tuttle went 1.63 under. I have since bought that motor back and is no were close to those figures. I am lucky to run 25 to 30 under.I now have a new engine that Mark has built for me. I know it will be faster because he built a new engine to replace the old one i bought out of the ol wagon and it was at least 3 to 4 tenths faster in the wagon.I 'm just struggling to get the right combo.The converter in the wagon would foot stall up to 4500. That is why i think this is the problem. I was hoping someone out there has maybe gone through this and kinda shorten my process of elimination. Keep suggestions coming , maybe i will get lucky and stumble on a solution. If there was a problem with the tranny ,would i be able to check something or listen for some sort of noise. ?
