torque coverter

I see lock up converters for 700r4 transmissions, 30 splines and 27 splines are in JCWHITNEY'S catalog for 179.00. I wish I knew for a fact wich spline I had with my 84 camaro being the transistion year. I still have the lg4 cam. How much would the 2500 stall improve acceleration and affect drivability and gas millage. Olso would it tax my cooling system.

Are you certain you don't have a 200C transmission?

The early model TH700-R4 is likely the smaller input shaft design, and likely a 27 tooth-count spline. You'll really want to check yours to be certain, and may want to shop elsewhere for a TC. GM offers reman TCs with a warranty for about the same price, and the K-Factor (stall RPM) varies widely. You can get a warranted 2,300 RPM stall TC from GM with the TCC for under $200.

Stek - Got the PMs. I'm still researching for technical data on the copper itself. Don't want any misinformation or half-information articles sent out.

Doesn't SLP sell converters? Roughly 2400 stall? Maybe it might be worth giving them a call and seeing what your application is.

Vader- I appreciate the help. I think it's bout time the "confusion" gets set straight.
