I have a 1966 cutlass with a two speed jetaway ST300. This transmission has a smooth fluid pan so I assume it is not a variable pitch. I was wondering of a torque converter for a two speed powerglide would work. I had the origional torque converter tossed out by someone who did not know what it was.

Thanks

Hey Mark

Does it have the 2 wire hookup on the driver side?

 

It looks like one wire. i added some photos

 

Hey Mark


Nope just a regular Jetaway. I have 2 S/P jetaways in my garage now. LOL Well from what i understand NO the powerglide T/C will not work. But you can use a TH350 or 400 converter. Hope that helps.

 

Summitt sold me a Boss Hog 34041 torque converter. They said it would work but i am not sure it will work. You imput great appreciated.

 

I found this here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Turbine_300

Due to its two-speed with torque converter design, the Super Turbine 300 is often confused with Chevrolet's Powerglide — which was also a two-speed torque converter transmission, but the fact is the ST 300 was of a completely different design and shared absolutely no parts or components with the Chevy unit, which had been around since 1950.

 

So I guess I will go back to Summitt tomorrow and swap this tc for a th350 tc as you suggest.

Thanks
Mark
