   Thanks and no I didn't use a torque converter, I modified the front pump and
valve body to use a external pump (read, noise) my next project will be to move
the electric pump into the trans pan where it will be submerged in oil to dampen
the noise, Im at about 5 amps in gear and hope to drop that to about 3 amps. Any
suggestions on a pump to use I need about 90 PSI at about 1.5 gallons per
minute, I was thinking of using the GM's TBI fuel pump, it fits the spec. but
the viscosity will be a little higher.
