I just wanted to share with everyone that there is this guy in Plano, TX that is an information genius with the yblock and fordomatic tranny...........He is a parts dealer and has owned 56 Tbirds forever.......Google Fordcraft and you can find his number if you have questions that can't be answered here..........He has saved me countless hours of trouble shooting.
He is the one that told me that the rod knocking sound I was hearing could be the flex plate and not a rod at all which it turned out to be.....
