I don't remember seeing that on my 71 transmission pan. Maybe its there and I just don't remember. Thought it was cool to see. Hardly anybody includes the word hydramatic when talking about these old transmissions. They say Turbo 400 or 400 Turbo...?

Thought I'd ask the parts dept. here. Really was just wondering if it was on all of them or just 1972.

Nice details with your project and great shots. Lots of hard work goes into these projects for sure.

Default NEW A/C DELCO STARTER & SHIELD
the T/As starter had been replaced by 1985, so I opted for a rebuilt A/C DELCO..I am not certain how much they changed thru the years or even what year this rebuilt core is..but I think it looks fine...I added the repop shield that was an exact match to the original and I fortunately had the original mounting hardware...since I am adding a unitized distributor, soon I will photo the new engine harness,new pos. & neg. cables and leads to the new starter...and hope it works!!Click image for larger version Name: NEW AC DELCO SRARTER.jpg Views: 106 Size: 97.1 KB ID: 352801

If you have the old shims, put them back. If the starter whines or grinds - let the fun begin~!
