Is there a B & M stamped anywhere? If I recall the part number stamped on it back then started with 10 then three digits I think.

The J was invented and released by B & M, Turbo Action copied the J designation much later.

The original O69J Mopar race converters were made by B&M, Paul Forte at T/A replicated them later beginning in 1971 or so shruggy
they were, both brands, really good drag race converters up
