Hi All,

Can someone point me to a quality torque converter available?  I am looking to purchase a new one for my 66.  Car will be street driven only and has a stock rebuild of the engine.

Thanks
Shawn

Consider calling Jay at Broader Transmission.  Google it.  He's a true craftsman and builds his converters in house one at a time.  He might not answer during the day while he's building or dynoing trannies.  But he'll call you back.

I appreciate that just looking for specs on stall size etc.  Hopefully he knows all details required for a stock 66

Thanks

   Shawn,
      While the MPC doesn't note any particular information on the "AJ" ink stamped convertor supplied in the K code applications , they DO have a slightly higher stall speed than a "regular" C4 convertor. If you use Jay ( a great choice) ask him for a "mild" increase in stall to 2,000 ( over the 1,800 stock). This mild increase will mimic the original and not hurt fuel economy in any way. I have "cut apart" an original AJ convertor out of my Hertz car and know the internal fins were modified from a "standard" version convertor. The 289 hipo cam was the reason for the increase in "stall speed" to improve lower rpm drive ability.
