Torque converter suggestions

I’m getting ready to purchase a oem/stock lockup torque converter and I’d like to get some suggestions before I stress out and buy one from a parts house. Thought about Precision of New Hampton, but I’m wondering if they have a clever sales pitch and a less that stellar product or they actually are legit.

Alternator wiring
