Post subject:  Need a new torque converter.....suggestion

Based on advise I received on this board I pulled the starter and tin plate in hopes to find the source of the metallic rattle I heard at certain rpm on my '72 Scamp. I was expecting to find the torque converter bolts tapping the tin plate.

Unfortunately, I found one of the tabs welded to the torque converter had broke off. The bolt from the flex plate still held it.

Bummer.

So I am in need of a stock torque converter for a stock '72 225 CID /6. The only mods to the engines is pertronix ignition and 2.25 exhaust.

Does any one have one for sale? I will be having a local trans shop do the work. I at least want to research where to buy one and get an idea of a price before he tells me what he can get.

So if I have to buy a new/remanufactured one, what should I expect to pay? Suggestions where to look to buy?

Just reweld the tab to the converter.


Had that happen to my parents Cadillac. Didn't even have to remove the engine or tranny to get it fixed.........

Post subject:  what size flex plate?

I'm not interested in trying to weld this back together. I'd rather replace it and I'm trying to order the correct part. At this point I think I have identified a Dacco Torque Converter (#762) that my autozone can order and should be a stock replacement. However, their computer is listing both a 10" or 11" flex plate - and I dont' know which to order.

Does any one know which would be stock in my '72 Scamp 225 /6 with 904 trans?

all 904s take the 10inch flex plate, 727s could be either one. Make sure they don,t order a converter for a 727[/b]
