Frank DuVal Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 No. There were improvements during those years. Now can it fit? I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it is hard to tell if one is being baited. And I mean no disrespect to Nick but that question was so innocent that I thought there coukd be a nefarious intent. I guess that is what happens in the written vs in person conversation. @Mr. Reed, there were 9 years with many a change between 50 to 59. If you were looking to install either unit into the car at the opposite end of the year range you included, someone with a lot of Dynaflow experience might be able to make it work, but it is not a bolt in operation. It might help the discussion if you could expand on why you were asking the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I am looking for the torque converter to flywheel bolt stud because I am missing one. There is a 59 parts car near me but before I go tearing it apart I wanted to know if they are comparable or not or if someone has a 50 parts car that may have this hardware.

That should have been your original question. A quick search of these forums found Jim Hughes dynaflow service 419-874-2393. There are others that service dynaflows and there are suppliers that may have your part. And if it is like my 55 a copy could be make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) I went back through the previous posts of the member and figured out the actual need. Looks like I won't have to do the New York Times puzzle for brain exercise today. Are you looking for one of the outer perimeter torus cover to flywheel studs? I can send you one of those.

Mr. Reed Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 It's the stud in between the top center nuts. It has a round head with one flat area on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 I believe there are 6 total studs around the tranny. Thank you so much if you have one that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NailheadBob Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Maybe if you have no luck finding a replacement stud You may remove 1 of the existing nuts and then remove stud with a stud extractor (or double up 2 buts) and remove 1 of you existing studs and make your own (cut to length new bolt) purchased from your local hardware store.

Mr. Reed Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 If I can't find any I will make my own but would rather have the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Well, I thought I could help. Mine has all bolts. It is a newer one, 1963 as I remember. I have been meaning to part that transmission out for 30 years or so. But when I turned my cellar into a basement (there is a difference in these parts) the old tranny body became a base for resistance cords in the workout area. If anything looks useful holler.

Ben Upon further review, master part book shows that is a "LONG" bolt, look at photo maybe bolt just pushed rearward?

Mr. Reed Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Yeah they are machined on the head to fit snug. The pin can be pushed back into the transmission and lost which is what happened to mine. All those other nuts are in place just like mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Do you have a part # for these pins? Thanks nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNUT Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Hi from Norway. The 59 is definitely different. You may use 48 to 52 bolts, but still you have short and long through those years. They used the short ones if you did not have balance weights and long ones if you had balance weights on the converter pump. I have these if you can’t find them over there. Take a measure of the bolt length you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 You have the bolts with the circle head with one flat side? They are 2" long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 CYou have the bolts with the circle head with one flat side? They are 1 1/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNUT Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Mr. Reed. If I read you correctly, you pushed the bolt in and “it fell into the transmission”. Well, that is not possible, it can only fall in between the converter pump and bell housing. You should be able to shake it out while turning the converter. Those depicted bolts without nuts, are those you use for fixing the converter to the flex wheel. If the bolt is still there when starting up, severe damage will occur. I may not understand you correctly. I have bolts, if still needed, will check their length tomorrow. The length you gave, is that total length or the shaft length of the bolt? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 I believe it may have vibrated loose on the tow truck on its way to the shop. The stud/bolt is 1 1/4 long the shank length is 1 1/8th long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Can you send me a picture of the bolt you have so I can compare? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNUT Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Mr. Reed. Here you have photos of the bolts. However, since I am over here in Europe, you should contact Fatsco in New Jersey. Ask for Mike. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Yup that's them. How can I pay you for them? Will fatsco have them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNUT Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Yes, I would be surprised if Fatsco does not have them. Postage from here is excessive, so try Fatsco first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Ok I'll call them tommorrow. If they don't have them I'll see how I can get you paid for the bolts /studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Fatsco came through for me and even had the nuts for the bolts. $20 for everything. Couldn't run the visa fast enough 😂 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 FATSC is a good company. L & L Transmissions in Batavia, NY let me order my parts from them prior to removal and inspection. I bought the kit, bushings, and whatever else was on the list. Not those bolts though. Friendly, that even asked which mechanic at L&L was doing the job. Three years already! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNUT Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Mr. Reed. Very good, indeed. Fatsco is really good with those old automatic transmissions. I think they have piles of them, and are selling high quality new rebuilding kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
