Now an Alabama Boss Hog (ACC), Dayco, Allstar are budget priced converters with hit and miss quality. (GER from a decade ago) Keep old mopars alive.

($300) I have made the mistake of buying Hi Po car parts based on prices, don't do it When it comes to many Hi Po parts I treat them like brain sugeons now, I don't want the cheapest one availble My message is when it comes to converters, cams, tires and so on,is to buy the best one for your car, no matter what Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

A cheap converter will work just fine if the Gods are smiling and you get lucky and the stars align and that penny you found was in fact shiny and face up. But that rarely happens to me.
