I finally got to take the Cougar out yesterday  The transmission was "Fixed" after I had it rebuilt.
It pulls harder now then before so I finally got to check the stall speed on the converter. From what I remember by putting it in 3rd gear and hammering it will give you your stall speed? I hammered it, hit 4300 rpm and went sideways Grin Grin Grin so is that the right way to check it?

3rd gear rolling about 10mph and nail the throttle wide open is the way I do it... It probable want change the stall speed much.   Do you have a trans brake?

Nope, no brake.

Ok! Sounds like the thing is working like it is suppose to .... Has a lot of torque! Is it the same or a new converter?

Same converter, I had the transmission rebuilt but it had issues Disgust It would shift at 10,15 and 20 mph by it's self WTF I paid for a select shift valve body. They did not adjust the modulator correctly, once they adjusted the modulator it's a whole different animal Naughty

Are you saying that you have a manual VB?  That is the only way . . .

nope...The VB I got you can put it in 1st or 2nd and it won't shift out of that gear, you put it in Drive and its all 3 gears. It would stay in first ok, in 2nd it would shift from 1-2 at 4200rpm if I had it floored or about 10mph just driving. In drive it would shift at 10,15 and 20mph diving normal. Now I can shift at 6800 rpm 1-2 and 2-3 it dropped my 60' time by 6/10ths.

To truly measure flash stall speed on an automatic TC you need to be able to have it in 3rd gear - (your 1:1 ratio trans gear) - and for it to stay in 3rd gear the entire time when you punch the gas pedal while cruising at a low MPH speed.  Not for it to downshift itself into a lower gear . . .

Just saying it like it is, bro.  I am not trying to take any of your happiness away though - if it pulls harder then before then that is a cause for celebration!  By the way - I'm saving for a big block packaged in a SBF like you have right now . . .
