1) was/is the plan.
My initial intentions were to collect info on the converter in my continued attempt to learn the most info possible about my car.
TRANSMAN's comment made me a bit nervous though. "If this is a used converter, and you don't know the history of it, DON'T use it. As others have stated in many posts, a used converter makes a great door stop."
Possibility that if somethings wrong, it could damage my motor, trans?
