Wow, you don't 'get' torque. Torque changes with gear ratio. For example, for the auto, first gear is a 3.22:1 ratio. They kept changing the ratio of the rear end, but one common one is 3.31:1. So the final total drive ratio is 10.66:1, which means that torque has been increased by a factor of 10.66, which is about 2790 ft-lbs (minus losses for friction of course) at the peak output of the engine. Rotational speed of the rear axle has also decreased by a factor of 10.66 compared to the engine. If you only put 262 ft-lbs. of torque on the rear axle you'd go nowhere fast.

Yes, but if you put the car on a dyno, that is about what you would see after the test, since dyno runs are usually done in the 1:1 gear.

I just bought the car

I just bought the car and the guy I bought it from had papers for the tranny maybe he had some other stuff fixed I only glanced at the paper. The guy also did some work on the timing chain, and I checked and its lined up right. I will check the coils and cat if tomorrow if its nice again.
