Someone else had told me long ago that 61 and earlier used a special crank, but I couldn't recall who or if 61 was the actual cut-off date. I've only seen the Hydramatic crank, no 57-61 BW auto engines. All mine have been 63 and later, but you can tell from the TSM that the 62 trans is the same as the 63 (M-35). The 61 is definitely different -- uses a vacuum modulator instead of a TV cable. 

My engines confirm that. The volcano crank is a 58 or 59. So that's the 
hydramatic? Mildly interesting to somebody, because we know that the 
bells are the same, and the crank flange pattern is correct other than 
the volcano lump which coudl be easily removed -- with the crank out of 
the engine and on a lathe of course.
