" From: Michael Bailey <route66rambler@xxxxxxxxx> " " I was just looking through the archives, and the " previous discussion about my Gremlin bellhousing was " on Jan 1-2 or so, here on the list, and not on Baadass " Gremlins. The measurements at that time were taken " under the car, and now I have them a little more " accurate(all measurements are center-to-center as best " I could with a tape measure). There are two main sets " of holes: Around the perimeter are six non-tapped " holes, 8-1/2" wide by 6-1/4" high. The middle one on " either side is offset. On the driver's side, the " middle hole is 2-3/4" from the top hole. " On the passenger side the middle hole is 1-1/2" above " the lower hole. Both of these are also the 8-1/2" " width. the outer rectangle sounds like a ford toploader pattern, interesting since they didn't start using the t150 until the next year. the two middle holes sound like a t-18 pattern, combined with the top two. this confuses me a little, as i'd thought that the t-18s used in late-'70s cjs, the only ones with short inputs afaik, had ford bolt patterns, and that t-18s with the distinctive warner pattern all had long inputs... " The middle set of four holes(where the 3-speed was)are 6-1/4" wide " by 5-1/2" high. " The transmission was registered by the bolts and nose " only, no dowels. The nose hole on the bell is ~ 4-1/4" " dia. and the nose on the transmission is ~ 4-1/8" dia. that's the way it is on my '68 bell. the retainer is a close fit to the hole on the bell. hmmm. so this bell has multi-pattern holes, but was finished specifically for only one. toploader retainers are ~4.84" dia... " I am assuming the two offset holes in the middle are " for dowels, but have no idea. Does this sound like a " T-14, or am I wrong? I just know that the application " is SUPPOSED to be a T-14, but it IS an " end-of(longest)year car(74). I do know that the tranny " was original, as I know the original owners. 6-bolt top cover? main case ~8.7" long? sounds like a t-14 to me. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
