You may be thinking of the Vega converter. Piece of junk, but what would you expect?

Mark you are correct about the Opel converters. The Vega converters also needed some TLC, if my memory servers me right. I also broke both of my Vega converters behind and pretty tame 350 S.B. Chevy engine without a trans brake. Anything can be made to "work" but the internals won't take a bunch of abuse. So if you can get one cut open and beefed up - you might just as well purchase a quality converter, and be done with it!
Any OEM 13" is only worth something to (maybe) a collector for a restoration project.
