Paging Fuddle...
bad converter I know that everyone is having trouble getting a hold of anybody at fuddle racing but just wanted to put up my problem as well received bad converter and its been well over a month i hope everyone is ok but would really like some info if anybody knows anything
when i bought my converter from fuddle he said it would get to me in a week...ha it literally took a month to get to me and i couldnt talk to anyone...and now just today my converter quit locking up...so i will be trying to contact them soon unless it just starts magically working again 
my impression of fuddle racing is they are cheap but you get what you pay for...bad customer service and for me a bad converter. my converter only has 1-2k miles on it.
hopefully yours dont break

Just got an e-mail from Fuddle a few hours back notifying me that the Converter has been shipped..!
... The last thing I'm in the mood for after such a delay is a problem with the converter once its installed..!
99ccz28 : What converter series are you running..?!

While I agree the welds aren't pretty, they do look like they'll hold (to me).
They look like something I'd do with a stick welder (my Lincoln AC225). Not pretty or pimp, but that sucker will flat out melt some metal.
You can't purchase a lower end converter and expect TIGs that look like a stack-o-dimes... JMO.

Should go away if you fo a full straight TCC apply
and use a good anti-chatter ATF.

the welds on my first fuddle looked like that too. they held up for over 25 sub 6.50 1/8th mile passes off the transbrake and many street miles. nothing went wrong with the converter. it is still running strong in a friend's car....I changed my combo and had John build me his top of the line converter. I am still happy with my fuddle to this day. the car has run 1/8th mile passes that should get me in the 8.9x's in the 1/4......and my new 402 should be a little quicker.
fuddle builds a great converter. John is just having an awful run of bad luck. fuddle will come through.

i know a guy that runs one and hes happy though.
I wish the search feature went back further so I could post up my predictions of these guys. It was under my old user name. But most of what I said was correct.
Small company, gets big and can no longer handle the demand...end of story. Plus I no longer have an automatic.

I used to think that there may be a company out there that sells a great quality part for cheap...But it's usually not the case.
In the automotive field you get what you pay for...
I now realize I'd rather save the extra dough and go buy a vigilante.
