ok,I checked and it is a non-lock up 727.The flex plate,im not too sure and I called a guy at my local AAMCO and told me the stock TC is 2500 RPM stall.The thing is too is he said the TC he has doesnt have weights on it.I thought they did since the 360s are externally balanced.I want to get this right the first time because I dont want to have to tear out the tranny again due to a wrong TC.Ill check on the flex plate.

If his converter has weights on it you don't want it cause it's not for a 360. Didn't you say you wanted a stock converter? If so check out the one on the website I provided. Only $98 for a converter that IS for a 360.

so now I need a flex plate AND a torque convertor?Good Lord this is going to get expensive.lol Thanks everyone

No you don't need a B&M flexplate. He was just suggesting it. The B&M flexplate, although more costly, isn't a bad idea because it takes the weighted converter out of the question and using it lets you use any non weighted converter you want so if in the future you want to put in a high stall converter you can do it easier and cheaper.

When your new at working on old cars they can be frustrating. Try and relax because I can absolutely guarantee you that this isn't the first problem your gonna have. If you own a 40 year old car and are trying to convert the engine, trans., rear, etc. to something other than stock you have to expect things like this sorry to say. Also remember old cars are not generally cheap to work on. If anybody told you they are they were wrong. I wish they were cheap to fix but they aren't.

Good luck and remember if you only want a stock converter $100 will buy you one from www.bulkpart.com
