Good Mornin All;   Got My tbird running,  afraid I have too much cam!!Engle   231 at .050-  MSD--  Demon-- 331 stroke--- C/4-- 3.78 rear.  Sure sounds good, but idles very rough--  Idles good at 1000 RPM- when I put in gear it drops 5 to 600 RPMs  Has a 1700 converter stall now.  Buddies in car club say that I need a looser converter???  Don't understand,, isn't that like having a slipping clutch???     Would appreciate explanations and suggestions.  Car is a 55 bird, 12 volt--  C/4 believe a flat-o- matic conversion.  By way  Frank, I talked to Jack a Auto Elect. and I will need to measure distance from bell housing to flywheel teeth. He will build geardrive starter from those.   Sorry to be so long winded.   Thank You-   Thank You---  Thank You   God Bless    Eddie
