It looks like the motor has been opened up before. Blue silicone and aftermarket gaskets. With the heads off, I still can't rotate the crank. Looks like water was in the cylinders.
So I cracked apart the engine and transmission. The flex plate is made for a crank position sensor. It was not bad getting them apart then unbolting the torque converter. It does not look factory. Is this a lockup transmission?
Thank you very much. I have the shifter with the buttons, but not that bracket in your pics that's nutted to it. I'll have to get my old bones under the dash and see if it's there. I appreciate your time man.
On the eve of the 50th anniversary, I just watched this new documentary, kinda long but, very well done and the reveiws in the comments are unanimous as the best documentary on the Fitz, they've seen.
I know, me too. I learned to drive in a 62 Ford with three on the tree, that's one of the reasons I fell in love with this car, and bought it. But the trans is in trouble, and parts aren't available for it, plus my wife wants to drive it :), so automatic and P/S it is, lol.
There may be studs on the inner surface of the dash, and you'll just need to getthe nuts to hold it in place ? It's been a few years since I was under mine...
