My parents had a 57 Belair with a Turboglide from the factory. After it failed the second time my Dad had the dealer replace it with Turboglide.

I hope this post started with a 55 gallon drum since everyone is taking a piss in it. There are several posts from Dan Fahey about Pure Stock. Lots of pissing and moaning about the class entering NHRA.. And boy, these comments seems to be calling for that class.

jim mantle .... turbo glide has two planetaries and a direct drive .... how could it not be 3 speed .... low gearset was billed as GRADE RETARD for going downhill , hence the GR on the shift plate...

also had the twin convertor ....
my dad said its downfall was pumps inability to maintain enough pressure to keep slippage down so they were junk after 30-40,000 miles

Stock became Super Stock without the unlimited high lift cam!
Todays Stocker run quicker and faster than yesterday’s Super Stockers with less lift!
