Here are some pics of the convertor I took before putting it back in. Tranny shop said it was still good.  Thoughts on if this is original?

Think it just might be. Not allot of them around to compare to but it doesn't look like an aftermarket or what we typically see come out of a box on a shelf at a parts store

Chris, I’m thinking original too.  Had mine rebuilt a few years back (65 Fastback, 289 with C4) and I clearly remember the white paint dab.  Can’t recall with respects to any lettering or numbers.  Most aftermarket units I see are painted.  Mine also also had a bare metal finish.

Read the shop manual and it doesn't say whether to put fluid in the torque convertor before. Should I put some fluid in it and how much?

Forgot to post these pics. These marks look original. Not sure what they mean.

Anyone know the finish on the vacuum modulator line clip. Painted or p/o?

Those are usually spring steel, so darkened appearance.

Yup, that's what my original part looks like with a little bit of surface rust for good measure.

Are you asking about the one that uses a transmission-engine 7/16 bolt in the upper LH corner (ID as 7B085)? If so, it's is as Charles stated, spring steel and would be a dark blue-black gun metal finish, very smooth and sort of shiny, not flat. It does not bend easy. The same for the clip on the RH side about half way down. I have not found a reference number for that one. It is shown as "clip part of trans assy".

"The clip that holds the tube is in pic 5 and is different than the rubber coated j clip that holds the wire for the neutral safety switch."

Is there any good source for these (2) different Spring steel Tranny "J" clips???

This is close, but not exact. I could go to my friends shop and see if he has any around.

It's the identical retainer sitting on my desk. The asked for price makes me think that I could be rich. (Mine is not for sale.)

I just bought one for ten bucks on eBay. The one in that link on eBay is from a Mustang junk yard/supplier about ten minutes from me. They know their stuff and have just about anything you would need but are always pricey. My car was missing that retainer so the one I just purchased is the same as in the link. I've been on the hunt for awhile and have been unable to locate any other style retainer but that one.
