Don't Get the Eckler's One. Although, I don't even know the brand, they don't list it.

Do a search on Torque Converters on the forum.

Yank and Pro Torque are good brands, but it is all dependant what you are after. Check those brands out first. Also it depends on if you hve 2.73, 3.15. or 3.42 gears as to what stall TC is right for you.

Don't skimp! Use a Yank with Mobil synthetic fluid and a B&M cooler, Then have Ed Wright redo your PCM...
