Default Re: 8" converter with powerglide spline...??

Anyone have any opinions and or info you would like to share.......thanks!
Whow!, did you buy it from BTE yourself and what spline did they tell you it had? The turbo spline is much larger, what spline do you have in the trans? The shafts are interchangable in the trans, but obviously you have to have the right shaft for the converter.
