Re: Locked up?

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the replies. Good tips. But I double checked with the guy and it turns out the combo in question is from a 1961, not a 1962! Yikes! So that means the transmission is a cast iron TorqueFlite. I seem to recall that year cast iron TorqueFlites did not use a flex plate but bolted directly to the crankshaft. in other words, there was an extended flange on the crankshaft with a torque converter with studs that bolt directly to the crankshaft, (no flex plate). Does that change things on how to proceed with the motor locked up?

Thanks,
Gary H.
