while disconnecting everything to ready the engine for removal i made an intersting discovery. 2 torque converter bolts were broken off and the last one was loose. thats the funny bottom end noise i was hearing. oh well to late to turn back now. also got a clear shot of the cowl tag.. car was built second week of january ( O1B) and is factory white with painted red top and red interior. gotta love those 60's color combinations
