Don't worry, that TC will not be going in the car. Removing the trans from a C5 corvette is a PAIN! I was going to do it on jack stands in my garage. I probably would have cried if I had to do that job twice..lol. I'm glad I decided to go the route of a procharger instead of the H/C setup because I don't even want to think about this thing being in the vette.
That looks like a Dacco stock replacement converter. I had one of those in my car with a th350. It was supposed to be a 2800 stall and was a stock stall. This converter might have been reflashed to stall higher, but bottom line, NOT A YANK!!!!!! If I advertise a set of Je pistons for sale, someone buys them and I ship them a set of trw's, is that right? HELL NO ITS NOT!!!! As a business take care of the customer, you will make money if you do this. Screw people and you wont be in business long. As a seller if you advertise something as a certain name brand you are held liable for your words. You should have posted unknown name converter for sale. Take responsibility for your actions.
I thought he was a business too. When it was explained that he's just another scumbag, it made sense to me, OBVIOUSLY he's not a business or he wouild've never made it. He's just another one of the broke punks that rip people off.
Taking the color out of the equation, because any Torque Converter can be painted, that thing looks nothing like a Yank from the bottom. When the thing was originally taken out of the car, any knowledgeable person would know it wasn't a Yank...or anything remotely close to.
Back in the day, I bought some headers for my LT1 and they sat in my garage for a month or so, and then sent them off to Polydyne to get them coated. Fortunately they had another pair they were about to do for a LT1 and said they did not look like LT1 headers. I took them up to G-Force and they were LS1 headers. The seller had no clue and refunded me money instantly.
I guess it just comes down to the seller you are dealing with...and it seems like you're dealing with a hard headed one. We're all car enthusiasts here and are here to help each other out. Hopefully he does the right thing. Good luck!

I agree with a refund, but the poster is also wanting all the shipping back also which is like $45 each way so its more like $500. The buyer has to take some responsibility for waiting 2 month and not confirming what he was buying in the first place is why I suggested the seller refund the $410 and the buyer eat the shipping of $90 basicly for his part of the whole waiting 2 months, and not verifiying before hand what he was buying like getting the build number and calling Yank etc...

Look again it looks like hammered ****. If you advertise a Yank then it should be a frickin Yank not a piece of hammered **** that works. Maybe I can sell you an LS-7 and give you an old small block piece of **** that works. It appears the same to me but always there are 2 sides.
he waited 2 months that's why... personally i believe the op, BUT in reality he could have done anything to it in that amount of time... he could have installed it and ragged the **** out of it and then got a stock one and claim that's what he was sent and try to get his money back for his screw up... do i think this is what really happened?... no, but he should have addressed the issue when he recieved the item, there's no way around that so i think he pretty much screwed himself

I don't know why you guys think the buyer should pay for shipping just because he let it sit for 2 months. I have parts for my build that have been there waiting for longer than that, some times it takes time. I also think that if XP doesn't refund the buyers money they need to be banned from selling on Tech period.
