Daaco torque converter

I was wondering about this brand of torque converter. I’m currently rebuilding my transmission and am looking for a decent replacement. My original lasted 200k, I’m not looking to race I only have a very mild cam with shorty headers and 3:42 gears, open element air cleaner

Re: Daaco torque converter

I guess I hear a lot of horror stories online of Daaco converters blowing up and sending gunk throughout the transmission. I really don’t have the time or money to rebuild the thing twice.

Re: Daaco torque converter

But right now is the perfect excuse to upgrade to about a 2500 rpm stall and make the car more enjoyable to drive.
