I can't remember all but it is a long list starting out with a 76 Plymouth Duster in 1979.  I would buy and sell just because it was fun.  Before you "had" to have insurance and emission testing "Cook County" Illinois I kinda flipped cars like folks flip houses today.  Sellers trusted you with a signed undated title.  I too have my forever truck.

I miss back then.

The flange is an anti-balloon plate, something you would use on a high RPM racing application.

Engine/Drivetrain / Thor Torque Converter

« Last post by JaredD on July 20, 2026, 09:54:09 pm »

I bought a 4L65e transmission from monster transmission back in 2018 before I knew about their poor reviews and it came with a Thor torque converter that I paid extra to support over 500hp.  Does anyone know why this bolt ring would be welded on to it and what purpose it serves?
