What is your flash stall?
Near as I can tell, and I'm probably not doing it right, mine is around 2200 - 2300 indicated on the dash tach. I didn't do a brake stall, what I did was do a series of runs starting around 35mph and up to approx 50 in both D and OD (3rd and 4th), made sure the car was in the highest gear (3rd when in D, 4th when in OD) at 35 then applied accelerator pedal firm but not enough to cause a downshift while watching where the tach rose to. In both D and OD it rose to around 2200, roughly and stayed there while the car continued to accelerate. Maybe 2300. Hard to tell, pretty subjective process. Add to that any potential accuracy issues on the part of the dash tach reading a couple hundred rpm higher than reality.
I recently posted about the Chevrolet dealer service receipt for a transmission job quite some time ago showing that they possibly put a 1400 stall converter in (p/n 24202174).
So if the above method has any ball park validity at all, this is curious to me.

Mine is supposed to be a 3,000 stall, but I cant hold it with the brakes past 1,700-1,800. Using datamaster and looking at scans at the track, it seems to stall to 2,300-2,400 before any mph starts to register. By the way, this is on et-streets and 4.09 gear at that time.

I'm just trying to get an estimate of what the stall is on the converter that was put in my car some time back. I thought based on part number that it might be a K-100 factor 1400 stall, but today's experiment seemed to show it stalling much higher. For the part of the experiment when it was in 4th gear (OD) I felt it grab right around 2200 - 2300.
