It was in 1988 (I still have it) so fuzzy memory... but I distinctly recall my dismay on mounts not lining up! Note this was pre-internet, pre-AMC-list... Even when I got the front x-member, I had to drill new holes in the pads to shift the biscuits fore or aft. That was not hard, I just used a 3/8" drive hand drill. I have a 1970 232 in front of a M12 or is it M11 aluminum, air-cooled Borg-Warner transmission, and stock 6cyl torque tube drive. It's been entirely trouble free (oh yeah,except when I sheared off the pinion shaft! Believe me it wasn't from engine torque; it was a bad forging, there was a discoloration showing an old old crack...). The little trans, which I baby on mountain slopes, and get tuned up every year or two, lasted 18 years on the first rebuild, and is now on it's second. Wish I could put a cooler in it! This weekend, I'm putting a Summit mechanical water temp guage "on" it, by silicone-ing the sender to the side of the case. Should be good enough thermal coupling. _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
