Occasionally stomping the throttle might be all that a VP stator is good for. Yes, Muscledrive converters are specific to pro-touring cars. Or, to generalize: Short sidewall, overdrive equipped hot rods that emphasize part throttle performance over WOT performance. How'z that sound?

By KISS, I was referring to the added complexity of separate hinge pins, stator fins, and actuators (piston) of a VP stator as opposed to a one piece stator. Even in the 60's, transmission transmission repair shops were prone to to toss the VP stator during a rebuild. I was negative 2 years old at the time. I never drove a VP car. Maybe I just cannot relate.
