This thread is fantastic !

Now I know exactly what converter I need to look for. Now,
all I need to do is find that needle in the haystack.....

Well, I found the CX THM400, finding one of the correct
torque converters can't be any harder, can it?
Come-on everybody! Tell me it gets easier!

Steve

I understand that the CW Turbo 400 in a '70 Z28 has a 2400 rpm converter. Is the CW similar to the CX transmission?

Here is a pic of the CW tag on my 1970 Nova L78. Where on the case is the VIN? I never looked for it and the tranny is back in the car. Had to post pic as an attachment.

I also have a CW trans in my 70 Z-28. I found the VIN stamped on the drivers side pan rail area recessed slightly. Did not see it until the exhaust pipe was removed. The stamp was at an angle when struck.



reads 0L510574.

The vin will be on the pan rail or the flange of the bellhousing.
