My dad's 68 barracuda convertible needs a new torque converter. I have sent the following to ACC and Dynamic to get their recommendations for a new converter. I feel that there are several on here with pretty close to the same set up as this car has and was wonder what you guys are using (brand, model, stall, etc) and how you like it.
Read a bunch on here and it looks like the masses are using either ACC "Boss Hog" or Dynamic so that is what I am looking at.... should I look at others?
Anyhow, here is what I have and what I sent to each. Any help, comments, advice would be really appreciated.....
Hello,
I have a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda that I need a new torque converter for. I am going to provide you the specs on my car below and I would like to know which of your products you would recommend. The car is a STREET car. I would like to achieve getting the car into the power band and having good idle characteristics. The current converter is an mp 166K that is broken. Even as new, it did not provide enough stall. Could not tell much over the stock converter. I have heard some really good things about your converter at www.forabodiesonly.com . Thanks in advance for your help.
