[FWDLK] torque converter ID?

[David Homstad <dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roger,

The PowerFlight and cast iron TorqueFlight converters are essentially the
same. They will fit interchangeably and some P/Ns are for both trannys.
There are several different converters, but the main differences are most
likely in stall rpm or internal design improvements. PFs generally had a
higher stall converter to compensate for the ?tall? first gear, compared to
a TF. Some converters had cooling fins for air cooling, but these were used
in both PF and TF. It would be nice if the P/N was marked on the outside,
but I don?t recall seeing any.

hello List,
 how can I tell what the correct application is for a torque converter?
Should there be/Are there any parts numbers
on the converter? The one I have most likely would have come out of a 59
Plymouth. What differentiates a torqueflite converter from a powerflite
converter, in outward appearance?
