The carb is a Edelbrock 600cfm (1406) with factory calibration. In other words, jets and metering are as sent from factory. Old carb was a 600cfm Holley. Nothing wild about motor, 290HP GM crate motor bought new from a Chevy dealer (untouched by me). Torque converter was bought new from local transmission shop. It is suppose to be a Corvette converter with around a 1800 stall. Will run down box and check again. Question...I read up on a test to check stall speed of converter. You hook up a rpm gauge, put all the stoppers on, block the wheels, floor it and read max rpm on gauge. That's your stall. What do you old grease monkeys think? I think I'll start being proactive and order a NEW converter from Summit and have it ready just in case.
