The FSM in the Reference Section has all of this info if you do not have a hard copy. It can take a while to download sometimes, so here is a quick and easy link to another site with the info:

I forgot to add: If you had the "fun" transmission you would not need this information....

The big question is can a four speed out run an Automatic Trans.

only when its not in reverse!

When not in reverse. This question has been debated for year's with car guy's. After leaving the line once you learn what rpm to pat the pedal and snatch another gear. But it is hard on the sink's. Also the gear teeth.

Never torqued the bolts on a converter just got them good and tight if they are grade 5 , grade 8 even tighter. Now ask me how tight bumper and muffler bolts should be LOL

I torqued the bolts on the converter 25 or 26 foot pounds with the old conventional pointer style torque wrench and they are the original bolts that came with the car and I put Loctite on them.
