A few years ago, I purchased a '66 Chevelle outside Salt Lake City. It had a decent small block and a th350 with a shift kit and 9" converter. I pulled that combo in favor of my 439 BB, Fairbanks th400 with a 10". I did drive the small block combo, in a limited capacity, for several months prior to the swap. Although the tranny started to taqke a dump, the converter seemed O.K. (A little loose compared to my 10", most noticeable in reverse).

Anyway, I've considered selling or possibly trying with my latest project: 540- Tentatively: 700hp/640tq, Coan- street/strip th400.

First I'd like to know something about it...ie. brand and perceived quality of brand......On the flywheel side of the unit, about an inch or so from the hub (pilot) there is an outline of the United States (stamped, indented) with the outlined block letters: G E R (Stamped)....This logo is stamped twice; 6 & 12 o'clock.

Everything looks first rate, nothing cheap looking, but, hey, how much does it cost for two stamps and some black spray paint compared to a brazened stator or whatnot.

thanks

GER isa not highly regarded...

I would look at a new converter.

PTC is a good company to work with for a reasonable price.

(GER)throw it away b4 you make an enemy-i learned the hard way

Making an enemy, as in person sold to?
Thanks for the responses, who makes these units, is it a labeled generic or something.

Yep , it's a GER out of Pa.

I had one of their tranny's and converters built for my truck (74 Blazer,38" tall tires, and 4.56's). I blew the first converter (implode as I called it) and threw metal through the tranny. Pull whole tranny took it back and had them replace the converter, tare down the tranny, and flush or repair. This happened 3 times in 16 months and all they gave me was grief (warrantee). The 3rd time I went to a local shop and had a custom converter built for the truck, no more problems. I would never recommend their converters !
I can say the tranny worked great, put in drive, stomp the gas, hit 2nd at about 45 and bark this tires :D (yes the 38's). Off road with the man/auto valve body worked great too, saved me a few times.

I just got a 10" converter for a TH350/400 in a parts deal but have no idea what brand, etc. No markings. It's painted gold color. Did any aftermarket mfrs paint theirs gold?
