Rich, thanks for that information. I don't have any hard numbers for a comparison, but it was the general concensus that the "new" dump-and-fill transmission, though the ratios were slightly better, was NOT bas fast as trhe "old" hydro.

Out there, somewhere, there's got to be somebody who ran a hydro and replaced it with a Powerglide after the converters had some devellopmental time... and might have been even faster than the hydro... I'd love to hear from someone who'd done that...

Here's a pic of mine in 1967, along with partner Harry Sparks...

I discovered just now (11:48 p.m. 6/24/2016) that I had inadvertently, left out the word NOT, which changed the meaning of my statement, entirely. I fixed it.... SORRY!!!
