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

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A: Actually, I believe he meant the torque converters weren't interchangeable between the 999 and 727. I know the 998 and 904 are not compatible with the 727, but the 999 I had in my '83 Cherokee was a larger necked converter.
   There was also a bolt pattern difference (large and small) between the converter and flexplate.

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!!

"From: Jim Shadwick <idahoamx@xxxxxxxxx>
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.
