Re: [AMC-list] 727 vs. 999 converters ????

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Jim is referring specifically to the AMC V-8s, which have a different balance weight on the flexplate dependent on engine size (externally balanced). Doesn't apply to the sixes, which are internally balanced. So you're just fine!!

The flex plate is the same....engine specific(ie; 304,360/401
etc).....the converters are different and will not interchange"


Just to be clear - are we saying that if flex plates are "engine  
specific" - that the 4.0 flex plate I have on the back end of my 258  
in front of the 32RH trans (aka TF 999) shouldn't work?  'Cause it  
seems to be working pretty well.

And yes - I know the 32RH is a lockup trans whereas "most" TF999's  
aren't and I am using the appropriate lockup converter.
