    Hey Guys,

    Just a quick question...does anyone know off the top of their head what size the torque converter nuts are on the C-4's? I went to get some the other day and they don't have them packaged up, so I figured I'd just get some from work tonight before I go home, but I can't remember what size they are, and whether or not they are fine thread or not.

    Thanks for any help,

    Later,

    Aren't these also a pinch nut style?

    Yes, it is the pinch style (self locking with built-in washer), 3/8 fine just everyone said. The factory nut has a 9/16 head on it. If you can't find the original style, I suggest putting some lock-tite on the threads.

    Or "Murphy" will be jamming the starter like what is possibly happening to poor Jamie.
