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!!
