Re: how to get the most from your motor...
Ok, I should have changed the converter when I had the engine out! I'll pull the inspection cover and figure out what the bolt pattern is. I checked the timing advance with the vacuum hose off and plugged, it was fully advanced at 32 deg around 3000rpm. Also it's running 2200 at 65 on the highway, s...

Re: how to get the most from your motor...
Gotcha!

Thanks Jim,
I will definitely try the stall converter first.
This one has 2700-3000 stall, do you think that's too high? I was thinking 10" vs 12" weight difference.

Re: 67 Catalina
Well son of a peach basket! I do have a mig welder and a 69 chevelle 12 bolt peg leg! Guess I'll get the tape measure out and check the width. Only thing is 5 on 5 full size vs 5 on 4.75 means new rims! How much for the 3.55 and posi? Would the 3.55 work with my open 2.56 carrier? I love this passed...

Hi Jim My name is Eric, I have a 1967 Catalina. After doing a lot of research I have found your site to be the most informative about this oddball 12 bolt rearend with a 10 bolt cover. I also have 67 Pontiac service manual which also helped me to decipher the gear ratio to be a 2.56 open carrier. My...
