In my quest to learning as much as I can about mechanics, recently I've been trying to understand torque converters. I get most of the basic concepts, but I'm having a hard time understanding stall speeds. From what I've read it sounds like you want a high stall speed if your car can handle it. It seems to me you would want the opposite though, right? Wouldn't you want full power being transferred through the drivetrain to the rear wheels as much as possible, without the car stalling? (which would be a low stall speed right?) It seems that would be most efficient.
It does seem like this part of the car could have a big impact on performance. Does anyone know what the stock 73 351C stall speed is?
