What torque converter?
I have a 1974 F100 4x4, 360FE and a C6/ NP205 transfer case... the parts store has a couple of different options.
This truck is going to be a simple daily driver with some mild wheeling, nothing crazy. The difference is the pilot length and I'm not sure which one is for my application. Any idea?

If you have the divorced transfer case then the C-6 is a 4wd only C-6 and is the shorter of the two in order to accommodate the divorced transfer case. If you don't no look under your truck and if there us a short piece if drive shaft running from the back of the C-6 transmission to the front of the transfer case. This indicates you have a divorced transfer case and therefore have the short C-6 tranny.

Neither of those are for a FE. The FE uses a 1.848 pilot.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on WHERE to measure my old torque converter with a mic so I can order the correct one? Thanks!
Even better, if anyone with the same set up has replaced theirs and knows exactly what I need... PLEASE halp!

OK... after some research on another site I found an answer... I think. The rear of the crank has TWO indentions ground into it. The 1.878 Pilot is a shorter snout. The 1.375 Pilot is a longer snout... apparently EITHER will work.
I just went and looked at the back of my crank, and this seems to be the case, Nice of Ford to do that.

So if anybody can verify this it sure would be appreciated... I don't need a race application, those things are STUPID prices. Just a plain jane torque converter. Surely someone has a link or info that can help? Has anybody here actually changed one out?
