Stroke of luck!

I was bolting my torque convertor up in the 'Cab yesterday. Feed in a bolt, drag meself to the front of the car turn the crank from underneath with a socket/breaker bar, drag meself back, feed another in, back up to the front, etc etc. Then do it all again torquing them up (threadlock and 20 ft/lbs). Finished! THEN I realised I hadn't checked that I'd bolted it in as per the scribed marks on one ear.

More turning of the crank looking for the lines. I'd only managed to get it right! RESULT! Don't see that sort of luck on a Mopar too often!

Kev. If it hadn't have been on the right way as per your mark you would not have got one of the bolts in because one is offset.
