Torque Converters

Hello all, I'm in a bit of a bind. About two years ago I bought an AOD tranny off ebay for my 56 ford and it's been sitting around. Now I'm finally ready to hook it up to my motor and get it going but I don't know what torque converter to get! I looked on ebay and there's 9.5 inch ones and 11.4 inch ones, high stall and regular. I have absolutely no idea what to make of it. Please impart some knowledge on my puny mind! Thanks

Craig

BTW: This tranny (not electronic one) is being bolted to a stock 302 from a 71 Torino, and it had a C4 tranny on it, so I'm hoping I can reuse the current flywheel

Go with a stock one first. You may be surprised at the performance.
The flex plate should be ok. Test fit it before installation. Don't buy one from Ebay either.
