Hey guys. Im trying to find a torque converter for my 1988 700r4. Im putting it in my 68 Camaro. Here is what I am looking for.

Non lockup
2200-2400 stall
27 spline
11" or 12"

I cant find one anywhere?

 

Part number 890-242960.

Why don't you want the lock up? Much better on gas, easy to wire up, and unless you have a 3:73 or lower gear (according to CC mag, not my own analogy) it will raise the tranny temps to a very high level while cruising in OD, and could/may cause premature failure of the tranny.

 

I just realized you stated your '88' 700R4 was a 27 spline. If it really is an '88' it will be a '30' spline unit. the 30 spline input shaft is a little stronger and a better choice.

 

well which spline to i count. im new to trannys if you cant tell. the bigger splines or the smaller ones?

 

The larger set of splines are the stator suport. Count the smaller set, they are the input shaft.

 

ohhh ok...then i do have a 30 spline. cause the smaller ones are 30 and the bigger ones are 27. thanks alot man!

 

No problem, I did the same thing the first time I tore apart my 700R4. But I knew mine was an 87 tranny, so it really threw me off.

 

I know this thread is old as hell but this really needs to be put in a sticky with big bold letters at the top of the page because I almost got divorced over this. I counted my stator shaft and almost lost my mind because I got this tranny from a long time friend and couldnt belive it. I recounted the input shaft and she probably wont talk to me for a week and I feel stupid as hell now.

 

Make the call or go visit and say "You were right, I was wrong, I'm sorry." Yes you'll never hear the end of it but you'll still have a friend

 

I left a message on his cellphone saying I was wrong. Im sure he doesnt give a crap. I woke my wife up over it now thats another story because it caused an argument and almost got me divorced.
