Wish I new! Unfortianatley the original owners son in law of my car thru
the
crank out. I used a '58 crank, since it listed as an interchange. The '58
LP2 crank I used was forged. I am still a believer that the '58 could
possibly be a better crank. I never new of any throwing rods.
A man I now that had a '58 from almost new took it in for service
and
the mechanic took it for a ride and blew the hood open!!
