Mark,

The engine in the car is a 400 Chrysler. For the last 15 years, I ran the car (80 Dodge Mirada) with a 318 engine. But now, I have the 400 in it. Just to see if the carb was the problem, I put the 318 carb (small T-Quad) on the 400 for one run, but the car acted similar, only slower. I apologize for not making that clear.

Thanks,

Greg

P.S. The torque converter currently in the car is old. Came with the car. I would say it is 20 years old, but has been setting for 15 years. The trans is a brand new Pro Trans. Less than 30 runs.
