If your car is cable shift, it is probably the orig. 64 tranny, doubt that
someone went to the trouble to modify the shift linkage to accept the 66

This is about what I expected. Chances are I have the 19 spline
shaft, it's probably the original 727, might be a 66 that came with the
383, but I think the more common (25? spline) units didn't arrive until
late 67, so, as you mentioned, I think my options are limited.
Was there a stock higher stall converter available for
our earlier cars? Maybe off a max-wedge car?

Hi Jay, Roger is correct. Your OEM converter
is starting toward stall speed at 1000 RPM and wanting to move. I
assume you still have the original 64 transmission and if so the
sources for a higher stall converter are limited. You can probably get
yours modified or convert the front of the trans to later model size
input shaft which really opens up converter selection. Mike

Let's try again....
My 64 Windsor (Newport) Convertible
originally came with a 361. At sometime in it's life the 361
was replaced with a 1966 383 2bbl engine. Then a weiand 4bbl
intake, Holley 750, and headers were added, as well as a
cam.
I don't know the specification of the cam,
but it is fairly lumpy, in that it has that nice lumpy cam
tone out the exhaust when in gear. I have to set the idle at
around 1000rpm's, so that in gear it doesn't stall
out.
Question is this, when I put it in gear from park, it
engages hard and pulls the rpm's down to around 700. Would
this hard engagement and large drop in rpms be possible due to
some sort of tranny modification (shift kit, line pressure or
spring change) or is it more a function of the torque
converter?
Once again, any insight would be appreciated!
Jay
