That number is on it along with a J in front of it. PTC also stamped their numbers in it when I had the snout replaced. Mine is a good footbrake converter with a fairly mild motor in a heavy car, not as good as my newer 8", but still good. They are very lazy in the 60'.

The front pump also needs to be machined. 4996598-DSC05267.JPG (102 downloads)

Yep, They were designed to be a Soft hit vert for more consistant traction. mike

Others may called them a J, but it depended on the what core was available at the time. With all of the small cars available for the last 15 years, there ought to be good equivalent to these converters now. Is it just me, or is the paint in your picture burnt? 8.30's @3400 lbs
