Bought a car recently and owner didn't have a lot of info regarding what parts were in the driveline. Some I've figured out, but converter is interesting.
A handwritten note he got with the car said "Art Carr transmission and Art Carr 4000 stall no lock up." Pulled the cover and it indeed has a little 9" NLU converter, but no plate, tag, or stamped numbers anywhere. Only marks are a few tiny proofs (from the OEM mfg likely). Looks like all oem-style parts. It's painted black. Any ideas?
I've never bought an Art Carr converter and can't remember much about them. Does this sound like it could be one? It's pretty streetable IMO... I have a lot more work to do before I can crank it up and really see how the converter works under race conditions.
My plan is to order a PTC 9.5" NLU, but then someone told me recently there was a 4k Art Carr made way back when that actually coupled pretty well up top (as opposed to most of what I've heard of Art Carr converters in TR's).
