Torque Converter best fit

What is the stock stall for a '72 TH350 tranny? I'm upgrading my SBO 350 to a comp cam K42-222-4 (XE262H) kit) and wanted to upgrade the stall on my transmission as well...what would be the best choice for mild street performance?

Power range for that cam is 1,200-5,600 which the stock converter is around 1,200 which means you don't need a higher stall speed. Stock converter is fine. You will need 3.08 to 3.23 gear in the rear end to take full advantage of the cam.

Posi is always better two tires putting power to the ground instead of one.
