They wont know what they need to do with your converter until they cut it apart and see how it is set up. My converter was an ATI to start with. ATI keeps good records for every converter they build. You can call them with the serial number and they can tell you exactly how it is set up and how it will work with a certian combo. I am sure the other converter companies do the same type of record keeping. I have only used ATI. Jay has a Munsinger in his car. It took him forever to get it back from Munsinger when he sent it for a rebuild. ATI turned mine around in 24 hours.
TCT had a record of who the convertor was built for, it was initially built back in 1998 and overhauled in 2002. The convertor was actually built for a 306 nitrous engine, as it turned out it was pretty close to what I needed. I am going to call the gentlemen at Ultimate and see what he has to say since he might be familiar with the convertor.
I heard that Munsinger were good convertors and was offered a used peice for around $600, we will see.
Are you freshning up your engine this winter?
