2Kwik,
My modular bellhousing assy. number is the same, except it's an "01" instead of "04" . . . I have a Toploader tranny. Was just wondering if the bellhousing itself has an access hole on the same center as the upper starter bolt?
I welded a nut inside the belhousing for the starter and it works just fine. You would not believe the "labotomy" I had to perform on both the block plate and bellhousing to get them to fit. Remember that engine is installed and I must get the block plate and bellhousing in the car from underneath. What a pain in the butt!!! I carved most of the "side" mounting holes off both pieces, but managed to get them in the car with plenty of fastening holes/bolts. Works fine!
Got everything back together last week. After driving up and down the driveway a few times to test, I notice fluid dripping from my new bellhousing. I check the slave cyl resorvoir to find that it's level has dropped a considerable amount. I know everything is tight and my pedal stop is adjusted properly. This time I followed all the directions to a tee! I have no idea what the heck is wrong! I'm taking it to be worked on by a professional this time. I'm not crazy about crawling under this car while it's jacked up so high . . . I don't really have the correct tools (lift, tranny jack etc) to be doing this kind of work. Hopefully by early October I'll have all the kinks worked out.
Wish me luck! and thanks for your reply.
