  • Torque Converter Needed

    I am in need of a new, rebuilt, or good used torque converter for my 1957 Packard with Flight-O-Matic Should be same converter used in Golden Hawks.
    Studebaker-Packard part number is 1547075 which may have been superceded to 1549039.
    Thank you

    Seems like I saw a NOS converter for sale somewhere in the last few days, but now I can't find it.

        Hi Paul, I couldn’t find the ad on the swap page. Do you have the contact infirmation?

            I looked all over, and could not find where I saw that. Don't think I was imagining it..........hope I wasn't imagining things.

              I bought the one on the swap page. Stephen Allen had NOS one in stock a few months ago.

                        Have you tried Tom Karkiewicz in South Bend? I am getting a converter for my 62 GT from him in the spring. Offers a one year warranty. His ph# is (574) 287 5834
