so I went and visited my 63 Savoy today and got some parts from my buddy who is storing it. I got the car from him.
In the deal, I also got some parts. A new transmission and converter were part of the deal. He wasn't sure of the make of the converter but said the company is known for the purple paint. He got them in a trade as well.
It's a 10" unit and has a couple of vague stampings and a build date written in marker.
Just thought I'd ask if anyone recognizes it so I can hopefully call the company and find out how tight/loose it is. Thanks guys. Here's some pics.

Where it mounts to the flex plate looks completely different though. Thanks for the help guys!
 
That was just a random picture of a B&M conveter.. just to show the color.
 
Isn’t B and M blue? The pics aren’t doing this justice. It’s super bright purple. Oh well. I’ll call b and m and see what they say.
 
Here is a picture of the converter in the roadrunner.
