    Uhh, I hate to sound like a dork, but I scrambled some of my torque convertors and I have a 200 R4 leaving this week. Sooooo, if it fits the trans is it the right convertor? Or will others (350 400) slide on too and mislead? I'm almost 100% sure I have the right one on there, but some assurance would be nice.

    350/400 shouldnt fit as the lockup partshould stop it from bottoming

    Not positive but I think the stock converters had a 5D stamped around the edges.I have an 84 t-type core,and that's what it has.

    GM RWD Torque Converters

    Starting 1980-up, GM used a 4-digit ID sticker located on the converter body to help identify it. Below is a guide to help decipher it's meaning.

    1st Digit (application trans)

    B -- THM250C, THM350C
    C -- 200C, 2004R, Pre-1984 1/2: 325-4L & 700r4
    D -- 1984 1/2-up 700r4, 4L60, 4L60-E

    2nd Digit (approx stall, depends on engine)

    B -- 2025 rpm
    C -- 2075 rpm
    E -- 1654 rpm
    F -- 1611 rpm
    G -- 1397 rpm
    H -- 1397 rpm
    K -- 1211 rpm
    L -- 1654 rpm

    3rd Digit (Clutch Assembly)

    3 -- Poppet Valve
    7 -- Poppet Valve
    9 -- Poppet Valve
    A -- Red (pre-96)
    A -- Carbon (96-up)
    B -- Static Open
    G -- Carbon Fiber
    H -- Red (pre-96)
    H -- Carbon (96-97)
    H -- Woven Graphite (98-up)
    L -- Carbon Fiber
    N -- Woven Graphite
    P -- Woven Graphite

    4th Digit (Body Mounting)

    C -- 3 round lugs, gas engine
    D -- 3 round lugs, diesel engine
    E -- 6 round lugs, gas or diesel
    F -- 3 square pads, gas or diesel
    G -- 3 square pads, gas or diesel

    If there is no ID tag, there might be a number or letter stamped between the dimples of the impeller on the converter body.

    4 -- 1211 stall
    5 -- Medium or high stall (depends on stator)
    6 -- 1397 stall
    7 -- 1654 stall
    C -- 2075 stall
    H -- 1397 stall
    K -- 1211 stall
    L -- 1654 stall
