While trying to cure transmission problems I have kicked over a can of snakes! Seems that who ever put my engine tranny combination together was smoking some real good stuff. Nearest we can tell register is almost .070 out! Driver side dowel was stock Plymouth .496 and sorta straight, but ground off so that it only located the block plate and not the bellhousing. It was removable, the other one is obviously an off set, and as the slot should indicate the direction it is doing the alignment no good at all. Oh, it won't come out, can turn it slightly with vise grips, drilled it and sprayed a lube in to see if that would help, still stuck. I need ideas as to how to get this &%$#%^& thing out and then the next problem, I have several sets of the Lakewood offset dowels and they measure .500, it doesn't want to go in the block. I will have to get the stuck one out, get new ones in and get the dial gauge back out, the dial indicator I can handle its the everything prior that has me stuck. Any ideas would be appreciated, will be out of town this week, but back under the car next week. John Althaus 1964 Savoy Hemi 4spd **************Start the year off right.
