Set the parking brake, and this will not be as noticeable, I hope. If it 
overpowers the parking brake, then there is an issue.

Check idle speed first.

Shouldn't the high stall converter supply less power to the transmission 
at idle speed than a regular stall converter?

First, I put in about 6 pints and then started the engine,  As the engine was running I added the remainder of the fluid.  I ran it though the gears and was surprised the hear that the wheels speed up when I put it in low.  Thinking the throttle linkage might be wrong I disconnected the throttle rod from the arb cross shaft.  Got the the same result but no movement of the carb shafts.  Any info?  If the car wheels were on the ground would I not experience this? Thanks.
