<VV> 140 engine on a regular PG transmission

[BobHelt at aol.com]

Well, IMO the TQ converter subject is still unsettled.
 
To my knowledge there are several different Corvair converter part numbers  
floating around and no one seems to know the differences between these 
different  converters. Are there truly differences in capability and stall 
speeds or not?  There may well be. But the information just isn't known.
 
If anyone wants to research this subject we all would be appreciative.  
Start with the 1960-63 converter #3777719 and the 1964-69 one #3846973. Then  
take a look at all the different converter part numbers specified in the 
various  Assembly Manuals. And consider that the 1960 converter had a stall 
speed of 1600  rpm (thanks Matt) and consider whether this converter matched the 
torque  capabilities of all the other different Corvair PG engines. Seems 
logical  that there should be different converters to match different engine  
capabilities.

There is  only one torque converter listed in the P&A 30C for Cars and  
FCs.   Bob Ballew's booklet list only one torque  converter.  140 
Powerglide transmissions have the orange slash on the  front pump, valve 
body and the governor, only.
