Choosing a stall speed.

Any of you conspiracy theorists ever think that maybe the old converter was scored up too bad to reuse? Because the OP said the bushing needed to be replaced. The bushing is in direct contact with the converter. Make sense to me. I had 727 that I pulled from a car & the bushing went bad & ate the converter snout all up. Everybody is so quick to scream rip-off any more! It probably did need a converter & they put 1 in that was available.
