So I was pulling apart my 904 from the 318 that it was attached to on my 73 dart, and thought the torque converter was a little too clean, It looked new. I know they are usually pretty clean but even the teeth were clean, Its spotless!

Maybe I just haven't taken enough apart to see them all clean. I'm going to post some pictures to see if its just a stock one.

Looks like somebodys' rebuilt unit( a stock one). If it's been modified to make it into a performance high stall, you'd need to have it cut open to see what might have been done to it.

The part number means nothing to me, nor does the stampings on the pump body. There were two converters from Chrysler for your combination a factory low stall, and a factory high stall, both listed for the 225 and/or the 318. The factory placed a decal on the hub side of the converter that said it was either a low stall or a high stall. The stall difference wasn't all that much.
I see you live in Alberta, and there have been 2 or 3 converter rebuilders in your area at one time or another. I know that it's not a TCS converter for sure, and I'm pretty sure that it's not one from Transtar, as I have one of their catalogs in front of me now and the part number on the converter isn't one of theirs.

If you're going to use it, make sure the hub surface is mirror smooth, just like a crank journal, otherwise, it'll leak on you.
