Think I May Have Found Out Why My 340 Seemed to Idle Rough...

There are two possibilities: The weights on the side are only for the convertor's balance... But they are huge if they're for that. Normally it's maybe a chunk of 1/16" thick steel. So it's either weights from a shop's lower end balance job or the 360 weight that normally goes on the flexplate side of the convertor was put on the side (not cool).

Yes, that's what I found odd Moper. While I have seen small balancing tabs on converters, I've never seen the number and size of weights that the old TC has on it. Guess we'll know once I get the Duster back together. I'll be sure to post the follow-up results here .....good or bad.

Be well
