Re: [AMC-list] 290 Crankshaft and balance questions

Jim,

I replaced a BW auto in my 70 Javelin 304 with a BW T5 manual. The 304 BW 
Automatic uses a pilot bushing. I pulled that bushing out with a pilot 
bushing removal tool and replaced it with one sized for the BW T5. I believe 
the BW auto behind a 290 is the same one behind a 304.
