Trailbeast is right on the money as is RustyRatRod. The converter hub must be as smooth as a crank journal. Any surface wear on it, etc. will cause seal/bushing failure eventually.

If my memory serves me right, the factory converter in my Duster stalled at around 2300/2400. But with that being said, it might be a wise move to contact one of the reputable converter builders and see what they say. Make sure you give them ALL THE CORRECT information on what you've done to...

100% agree with you volaredon.

From 1968 and up, all 904 converters had a pilot (one that goes into the crank) size of 1.810 inches From 1960 to 1967 the converter pilot size is 1.550 inch Now, I may be wrong on this, but I think that the crank for a standard transmission was different from crank for an automatic...

With that amount of debris on the filter, the converter will also be contaminated. AND not matter what anybody tells you, it would need to be taken apart and cleaned. I know your in the Netherlands, but consider getting a rebuilt converter at the same time.

From what I saw at my customers shop, and what he told me after he got it on the engine, I don't think you can go wrong. He said that all he had to do once it was on the engine was adjust the idle. It's not inexpensive for sure, but after almost 40 years in the automotive repair industry, I've...

For what this is worth, you might also want to check out >> www.harmsauto.com << . He's up in Spokane. A customer of mine, from my working days, sent one down to him to be gone through. He was more than pleased with it, and if you didn't know better, you would think he just purchased it new...

Yes, it is a 27 spline converter. From the factory, they made a high stall converter. Factory stall, 2300/2400 or so. Send you complete specs as to what you've done to the engine, intake manifold, carb size, cam profile, headers or no headers diff ratio, rear tire size and see what one of...

There is a Transtar outlet in Houston. Might be worth a call. Google for exact location and phone number.

Used converters are good only for two things, a core, or a door stop. Because they are a sealed unit, there is no way to tell what the internal parts are like. I seen more than my share of "Rattle Can" rebuilt converters. JMHO

Factory never painted their converters.

If there is a Transtar outlet in your area, call them. Should have one in stock. Fits 1964-1969, 260/289/302 engines, 11" dia, 4 mounting studs.

For 2001 - on 5-prong Rectangular Connector, rod style Sound like it. Their catalog shows part number 12410C and it is listed for 2002 and on. My catalog shows that the 5 prong style was used 2001 and on. If you contacted me when I was in the industry, I'd ask you how many pins, and supply...

Check out my post to 65rbdodge/above. For what it's worth, buying off of ebay may not be your best source for parts, JMHO.

Go with the best parts you can afford. Getting the cheapest parts can/will lead to trouble. Make sure you get a manual on the transmission, either the ATSG or an ATRA manual. Be very cautious taking the OD section apart. There is a large HD spring compressed under the OD hub that can do you...
