Hmmm..I don't have one to check the prefix/suffix letters.....but according to someone we all recognize as quite knowledgeable, the GH's and Packard Hawk's were equipped with high stall converters!

brad Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 They were listed as 1750 stall whereas, Avantis are 2500 ish. I have had Avanti converters made for 3000 rpm stall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
