I agree with Dave on the purchase of a used high stall converter. You never know what you're getting. Just because the converter hub looks new, and the paint is shiney doesn't mean a thing. Converters are a sealed unit, and the only way you can truly know the converters condition is, or what stall the converter was built to, is to cut it open. We've seen many, many surprises. Mostly not what you want to hear.
We serial number our converters when we build them so the history of the converter can be tracked. Buy a used TCS converter, give us the serial number and we can tell you what stall the converter was designed for, the original application, who the original buyer was, and if it was ever returned to our plant for repairs or stall speed adjustment.
If anyone reading this thread would like me to mail out some information and the specification sheet we ask prospective customers to fill out give me your name and address and I'll be pleased to mail it to you. There is no obligation. Or if you wish, you can go to our website www.tcsproducts.com and the spec. sheet is there. Just fill it out and ask either Steve or Paul what would best suit your needs. We would be happy to help you chose the correct converter stall for your specific application, be it one of ours or one of the competitors.
The down side of emailing me personally is that I'll be out of town from April 10th to April 27th, so I won't be able to get back to you during that time period.
