Hi Oldman,
Thanks for the reply. What kind of mileage do you get with the coupe? I have 355 gears in my coupe now but want to change to 3.00 to 2.80 gears for the mileage ( not sure what will fit on my 355 carrier. I fudged a little on the description of what powers my coupe; it actually still has the 389 Pont. that I put in it 40+ years ago but I have a 461 Pont. built and ready to drop in as soon as I sell the 389. Again, thank for the reply.

Jack.

Hello Jack,
I get mid 20's with the coupe. I don't think the converter is locking up. The local tranny shop told me to do a simple test to see if the converter is in fact locking up and it appears that it isn't!! THis problem is on my "to-do" list for the winter.
Regards,
Mike

Welcome Mike.

Thanks for giving me a little side trip down memory lane. I'm originally from North Carolina and either you have a friend named Cooter or you know someone who has a friend named Cooter.

My dad used to refer to the glove box on the dash of the car as a cooter shell. I hadn't thought about that in years.
