C4/240??

[jguajardotx]

I am putting a C4 on my 67 that has a 240 inline 6. I been back and forth to the tranny shop and they cant seem to get me the torque converter I need. They keep telling me the one I have already is the correct one. Anyone put a C4 on a inline 6 before? Maybe someone can give me the right part # for the converter I need??

What is the problem with the one you have?

[ima71 trucks are older]

The c4 convertor isn't engine specific.
The flex plate IS engine specific
The starter is flywheel/flexplate specific.
Are you sure you have a C4 and not a FMX/fordomatic/cruisomatic?

What problem are you having?

Well I got it fellas. Reason it wouldnt go in was I had not removed the clutch pilot bearing. Ha Ha Im new to the whole tranny thing so I learned somthing new yesterday. Thanks for the help anyways guys.

jguajardotx,

That will stop it for sure.

If memory serves me right you wanna make sure you hear three distinct "clicks" when you mate the C-4 to the engine.
Did-it/done-it...didn't hear the third click one time. Pump bound up and fried the torque convertor on startup.

Or install the torque convertor onto the engine first/then bolt the tranny to it.
