When I got the shroud out of the way and turned the engine over, it
lined up and slipped right in. It seems the ears on the tc slipped out
a bit making the trip from bench to in the car. It is all in and good
except for trans cooler lines, dipstick, fluid, and the fan/shroud. Hope
to finish up tomorrow if the rain holds off. Gonna get some hose and
replace the PS return and the trans cooler hoses. I thought they were
fairly new, but they must be 20 yrs old. at any rate, they are hard.
By noon it had dried up enough I could go at it again. I'll admit to
not much enthusiasm today, but after I got the bolts in the bellhousing,
things started moving along.
Thanks for the hard won trick of the trade, Manfred! I was afraid the
thing was gonna fall out a couple times, but I managed to keep in on top
of the floor jack. It tipped over yesterday to the right, but the
tunnel held it until I could get it on more or less an even keel again.
