http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34208&item=2461882197 Its the TCI "Saturday Night Special" torque converter. I have a feeling that this converter cannot take a lot of driving and abuse. Or am I wrong??? ------------------

I would not buy a torque converter off of E-bay. Not knocking it, but converters are specific applications.I didn't even look at that one, but if it were me I would contact a specialist and get a converter that is engineered for MY car.  ------------------

Thanks again Alex 
What would be a good brand to look for, I just want something decent, nothing special.

My first choice of course is JPT 1-517-663-0578. If that is a geographic challenge, then my second choice with be Paul Forte of Turbo Action of Jacksonville Fla. 904-741-4850 ------------------
