Torque converter recommendation- '68 442 stock

Hi guys- I'm a bit clueless on torque converters. I have a stock rebuild '67 400 with compacts 42-220-4 cam (600-4800 rpm) with quadratet, 3.08 gears and stock manifolds. This is a street driven, never raced, pushed every now and then car. Transmission is ready to go in...just need to order a torque converter. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Where did the original converter go? Who built your transmission? What does he recommend?

The best thing you can do is call Hughes or TCI and talk to one of their techs.

Go to Jegs dot com and look at their TCI, Hughes, B&M TCs. There is a chart in the TCI area to help select. I tried to post it but dont have time now to play that game with this site nor my POS home computer. There is also a link at the top "torque converter tech".
I think youll be happy with the TCIs Street Rodder.
Just make sure its for Olds as the flywheel mounts are unique, it aint a Chevy.
