50's Fluid Coupling Video (how torque converter works)
« on: October 24, 2013, 07:34:03 PM »
This is similar to the old "how a differential works" video floating around a few months ago. 

Enjoy:



'86 GXL
For now: 383ci, Q-jet carb, vortec heads, 2004r tranny, NA rear = 305 wrhp
Sitting in my garage: LQ4, LS6 intake, Ported LS1 TB, TII rear end
On the wish list still: TC76, engine lift and warm weather!

Retirement at last.  Wife's not happy, I bought a '66 Rustang instead of paying off my F150.
