TCI Converter info
 

I have a customer that has a TCI converter and I think it is not correct for his combo. I'm considering changing to a known A-1 7" converter I have just to see what difference it makes in the performance. (might be too loose)
I tried calling TCI but must have got someone that was a min. wage employee having a bad day. I didn't get my questions answered. I got "Their agenda"
I just wanted to know the general make up of the converter, like # of blades on the stator and the degree. and type fin.
Is there anyone on this board that can answer my questions about an 8" TCI converter.
Please P.M. me.

from another board

After getting flatter head flexplate bolts, I went to put my car together and found the bolt pattern for the TCI converter is slightly off. I can send it back to TCI and get a different one for free, or I can send it back to SummitRacing and it will cost me $35 dollars shipping. I have chosen to send it back to SummitRacing. Now I have to find something else and I am thinking about an ATI converter.

I was hoping to get this car on the road before I have surgery next week. I won't be able to work on the car for at least a couple of weeks. If it wasn't for bad luck, well you know the rest. sad.gif

He was most knowledgeable and helpful set up our 4 cylinder car got it almost right the first time out--gave us 2 choices naturally the one we picked was not the one we should have chosen but we all know how that goes right???
