this is the info:
1) a fellow racer basically gave me a new torque converter
2) Midwest Converter, S/N 92100
3) The converter looks brand new, but the PO says he knows nothing about it
4) I called Midwest, they say they do not have records that go back that far,, from the S/N Midwest thinks the converter was manufactured around 2005, but they have no record on what the converter was manufactured to.
5) the converter seems to be a 10 inch diameter,( smaller diameter than a factory 904) has what seems to be a new ( Midwest ?) cap plug over the input shaft. Converter is very clean, it contained some tranny fluid, ran the fluid out on a clean towel,, bright red, appeared clean.
Question,,
does any one know of a source for a 'Torque Converter Dyno" to find out what this TQ was built to? This may be a great deal, but I hate to put an unknown TQ in a car, just to find out it is set up for something completely different from what I need.If it does not work for me at all, then its just another tranny pull,,,.
Or if it does work,, great, but that would be just blind luck.
info on a Torque converter dyno or general thoughts appreciated..
thanks
