... finally!
Picked the car up today after the R&R of the torque converter. I swapped the stock unit for a PI Stallion 3500 rpm stall speed, triple disc lockup torque converter.
OMG... can you say... slingshot? In Pittsburgh rush hour traffic, the lane to the left opened up unexpectedly while I was stuck behind a semi pokin' along 5 to 10 mph. A quick check in the mirror revealed a fast closing Mercedes and a gap behind him. I hit the turn signal and when the Mercedes cleared I tromped it after another quick mirror check.
The Lincoln literally leaped into the left lane and in about 1-1/2 seconds it was time to get on the brakes to keep from rearending the Mercedes.
The car is literally evil now. It taunts me to launch it into warp speed at every opportunity. I fear for my license! What have I created? }(
