Confirmed. Wrong converter in more ways than 1. Should have been the #6v with both bolt patterns. Got a #6d for a pre 96. They're checking the build sheet now.

Update: Correct converter being built. Will be shipped overnight. Due in Thursday, Friday at the latest.

5.2 is internally balanced, 5.9 is externally balanced. Mounting bolts may be exactly the same. (flywheel to crank) 5.9 flexplate will have a weight on it.

I'll have the replacement one pulled tomorrow and it'll be interesting to see if it's the correct one. Fred, the torque converter guy @ PATC stated he hasn't seen a bolt pattern quality issue in his 25 years as a converter dude. My statement, there's a first time for everything. :-)

Edit: the symbols are stamped on the bolt pad side either between the pads or on the next flat surface towards the center.
Awesome was just asking this question myself, never seen the stamp Mark's before. Thanks
