My "new" CAT99 torque converter

[r97]

sry i ment cat99 driver and comet 30 series driven?

Possibly. The driver isn't stamped with CAT99, though. The only part marked with CAT99 is the black plastic cover. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, has not changed in size, just stickers.

maybe you just have a 30 sereies setup whith some cover someone baught off ebay and slapped on there cause it fit

 

[redsox985]

Hopefully lol. Does anyone know any distinguishable differences between the CAT99 and 30 series?

3/4 vs 5/8" belt, color of the driven spring.

 

[redsox985]

I know the belt. The spring just looks metal color. Did they color the springs a while back?

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

did you read the stuff in the links I posted? Also check the driven OD, that might tell you somehting.

 

[redsox985]

I've been all over that site. It's a 6" driven with a 5/8" jackshaft and 3/16 keyway. The driver is made for a 1" shaft with a 1/4" keyway.

Does anyone have a CAT99 that they can take dimensions from so I can compare it up to mine? Not stuff like driven OD but stuff that varies between the CAT99 and 30 series.
Thanks a ton.

That's your driver, To ID the driven put it together and measure the gap between the halves?

you have a comet 1" bore 10 tooth #40/41 chain, found that out here http://www.google.com/patents?id=ys58AAAAEBAJ&pg=PA2&dq=3747721&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false , found that page by searching you back plates patent # on google patents

After looking at that...I concluded nothing except the backplate was designed a while back lol. I'm more concerned with what type of TC I have. I'm assuming a 30 series driver due to the stamped in 3/4". The driver is my real concern. Does anyone have a CAT99 driver that they can compare my specs to? Thank you.
