The squeal may be the converter not yet full of fluid. I hope. If so as John

Can anybody tell me what the correct air cleaner for a 1971 Chevelle SS with a big block engine. The car does not have cowl induction, but it does have a domed hood. Do you use an open element or a snorkel air cleaner? I am just trying to help a friend who is resroring a 71 Chevelle. Thanks D

regardsPelle__Chevelle gearheadshttp://hem.bredband.net/chevellegearheads/
Pelle,
in the simplest of
terms..the flexplate is used with an automatic transmission, and the flywheel is
used with a manual gearbox. The flywheels is much heavier..usually at
least 25+ pounds, and is thicker. They both come in 153 and 168 tooth
sizes.

I just won a flexplate on a Swedish "bidding site"
& a flexplate is what I want!
But the box is saying "flywheel". I asked the guy
if it's the flywheel IN the box he's
selling or the flexplate ON TOP of the
box ;-) Just to be sure!

Quick & dirty answer:
1 - Flexplate used with auto trans
2 - Flywheel used with manual trans
Flywheels are much thicker than
flexplates.
