1600-1800 RPM Saturday Night Special Stall Torque Converter fits Powerglide, Holden 253 308 Trimatic

TCI 741500 Saturday Night Special Converter Details

The TCI 741500 Saturday Night Special converter suits stock to very mild cam Powerglide and suitable Holden V8 Trimatic street cars that need better response without going too loose.

The 1600–1800 rpm stall gives better take-off than a tired stock converter while keeping the car tight, easy to drive and friendly in traffic.

This converter suits cruisers, restorations, gentleman-driver builds, daily drivers, hot rods, Toranas, Holden 1 Tonners and mild Holden V8 utes still doing work duties.

It is a good choice for very mild camshaft combinations up to 218 degrees @ .050. Larger cams, heavier street/strip builds or cars needing a stronger launch will usually need more converter.

This is not a loose stall converter. It is a low-stall street converter for buyers who want better-than-stock performance without making the car annoying to drive.

Yes. TCI 741500 suits 1962–1973 GM aluminium-case Powerglide transmissions.
