Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy! Some parts dealers call it one thing and some will call it another The master kit cost $250, rebuild quote was $250(not counting any hard parts that they may find need replacing and are not in the kit) and as you may have noticed earlier in this thread I caught them early enough to have them put in a shift kit(I'm guessing between $40-60 for parts and maybe another $100 in labor). I told them to take their time because I want it right when they put it in. That will also give me more time to try to pay them w/o hitting the credit card!

Almost forgot, I ordered a HD torque converter. The guys at www.transmissioncenter.net asked if I wanted one at 350 stall or 500 stall, I opted for the 500 considering I wanted to get this car to the strip w/a shot of nos sometime. Can someone tell me if I made a good decision or bad or will it make any difference at all. It did not cost anything extra.

See the part is.. I don't understand what they mean at the moment. Your stall speed in a torque converter is never low like 350 or 500. It should be around 2500-2750ish.
