After everyone's feedback, and considering the amount of work I'd need to do just to get her legal on the road, I ended up deciding not to pull the trigger. I really do want another full-size, but I...

No pictures - I should have taken them yesterday when I looked at it. It's a standard 4dr sedan, and as I mentioned has a lot of surface rust. The pinholes are in the quarters and fenders, and then...

Right - I plan on returning that unit.

The 7042264 I'm working with (the one not rebuilt by Holley) has 74/47 rods & jets, which I think is stock, right? Shouldn't these be good enough? I don't...

Yeah, when I ordered the unit they didn't tell me it was being rebuilt by Holley. I thought these guys had a specialist working in-house, I should have asked before ordering it. But once I had it...

And then there's the power piston spring, too - right? Wouldn't too light / weak a spring cause a lean condition? It looks / feels like an old spring. I'm gonna grab an overhaul kit, hopefully will...

I hesitate to open up this carb because it was "Rebuilt by Holley" and I would void the warranty or whatever. I plan on fixing the quad I already have and returning this one.

I really don't think the compound should be necessary if you have a good bolt & washer. Certainly, I wouldn't depend on it to make up for a worn (or possibly incorrect??) bolt.

But if you do use...

Grabby stock torque converter

Hi folks,

I was reading up on here about torque converters and found someone's post that a stock converter should stall @ roughly 1800. Is that only on certain years?
