Ken,

It is so odd that you posted this today. I met with the
guy that is restoring my CX THM400 and he asked me for
the specs on the '69 L/78 ( CX ) torque converter.

So I guess I need that information as well.

Steve

I believe my TurboHydraMatic sheets call it a "2.2" or something like that...but 2200 is the English translation I believe...

It pretty much depends on the torque driving it....
since I own a torquey Buick, with an L88 convertor, I wouldn't know anything about that

1970 Chevrolet in house engineering results,as well as AMA specs show the maximum ratio at stall to be 2.10,which translates to a 2110 RPM stall speed for the 6 lug L-78/LS-6 convertor.
I find this to be accurate on my Chevelle today.

Hey Ken,

You seem like a nice guy. You can just have the CX.

What's 6 years of searching for one worth anyway...
