stall

can any one tell me what the stock stall for a 91 7-28 w/700r4?
and also how big of a difference do higher stall converters make?
I have owned my car since aug 1990 and am just now getting around to trying to get it moving. Any help is greatly appreciated

From: 51°N 114°W, 3500'
Car: 87 IROC L98
Engine: 588 Alcohol BBC
Transmission: Powerglide
Axle/Gears: Ford 9"/31 spline spool/4.86
Stock stalls are usually around 1200 rpm.

A higher stall converter will depend on what's been done to the engine and car. With little to no modifications, 2200 is about the most you want. When selecting stall speed you should go a couple of hundred rpm below the engines peak torque.

The stall speed listed for converters is corrected to sea level. A car at a higher elevation will stall at a lower speed than an identical car at sea level. The stall speed is also related to how much torque is put into it. A converter on a 305 may stall at 2500 rpm while the same converter behind a 400 may stall at 3000 rpm.
