    Installing stock torque converter, 2 or 3 clicks?

    well I only counted 2, but I'm pretty sure its in all the way. I kept lifting up and spining it and it would not go in anymore. Plus it hooked up to the flywheel and now everything is spining so I think I'm good.

    Installing engine with auto trans in car

    ok thanks for the help. If I leave this bolted up for a few day do you think the front seal will be ok? I will not turn the motor over anymore. I just might not be able to get out to the garage for a few day. How do I know if I damaged the front seal?

    Installing engine with auto trans in car

    The car is an 86 fi. It is all stock. I pulled the motor and left the auto trans in the car. The converter is still in the trans, and is where it should be I believe. I went to install the motor and I can get the motor mounts lined up. I can get the top of the motor flush with the...

    Pulled off lower intake milk in the back 2 ports

    I spun the starter on the car just for a few seconds. It did spin, that was all I did, because there was no oil in the pan. Here is a pic. This is not my pic but my motor with the milk looked identical to this except for in the back there was a little less milk. Notice the 2 rear ports, and...

    Pulled off lower intake milk in the back 2 ports

    is there any chance this could be the heads gaskets or does it sound more like a intake gasket. Could the head gaskets shrink? To be on both sides I would think that it would be the intake. I just dont want to put it all back together only to have to take it apart again.

    1990 Gt Automatic A9l Computer will it fit a standard?

    my mistake. It is a A9P. Can this be used in a standard trans car? How about the harness, is that interchangable between autos and standards? I am not talking about using these two pieces together. I have somebody who wants each piece, and both people have standards. So these two pieces...
