Hey guys, I just bought a 1998 z28 (automatic) How do I figure if the car has an aftermarket stall converter?

with the car warmed up to its' normal operating temperature,gear selector in N and engine at idle,drop gear selector into D,the amount of the car wanting to move forward will give an 'indication' of stall. A 'none' or slight wanting to move forward would indicate a aftermarket stall,a strong wanting to move forward would indicate an OEM factory stall.
ALSO a stock OEM converor will 'flash' to about 1800,an aftermarket stall would flash to 2500 or more.

Remove the inspection plate on the bellhousing and look

Stall the car and see what she stalls to. That should tell you if its stock or aftermarket.

stab it from idle, if you sit & light them up & go sideways you probably have a stall, with a stock stall it probably wont do it. I bet you have 2.73 gears also
