[FC] torque converter snout

[Diane Galli]

Jim, 
Thanks for the plug for Corvanatics. The mentioned pamphlet has a lot of
info related to setting up differentials. Also available is another booklet
relating to the workings of the Powerglide. This is not a "How to Fix" but a
"What makes it work" book compiled from the letters of Bob Ballew and his 
Idle Mind Workshop". Also, articles related to the workings of the Vacuum
Modulator, Governor, and differences between EM, LM, and 140 transmissions. 
     
     Differential Booklet         $5.00  PPD
     Powerglide Booklet      $10.00  PPD

     Oh, the visual difference in the two snouts, '60-'62 snout, 1 slot, 
63-'69 snout, 6 slots. These are in the face of the snout that mates to the
bearing. They should only be used in their corresponding year differential
cases because of dimentional differences in the cases.

Diane Galli, Corvanatics treasurer, has a pamphlet for sale written
by Bob Ballew on differentials.  The last page is on P/G snouts
written by none other than Bob Galli.  If you rebuild diffs this is a must.
