Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
Update: Original Torque Convertor has a drain plug. Now empty, it was degreased (fotos #1 & #2), received treatments of Naval Jelly and Ospho (photo #3), RustOleum red primer (one coat-photo #4), and RustOleum high-performance black enamel (one coat-photo #5). I see one should pre-fill with 1 quart ATF before installation. I will also install the snout spacer (photo #6) that was previously not installed by previous owner and necessary to mate the 1980 318 block/crankshaft to the 1965 torqueflite 904 (I ran the motor/transmission about 2,000 road miles without the spacer as well).
