a short question before I get the crank worked

[tim at unrealexpectations.ath.cx (stetson)]

Thanks for the replies gents (Dan, Dave, and Don)!

I knew that this was probably the case because the other crank did not
have a separate part # and as a rule of thumb trannies are switchable,
but wanted to make sure before I was 1/2 way into the swap and $100
lighter for the crank work.

The screaming fantods may have been due to mexican food.

I use a special cream to calm the screaming fantiods.  ;^}

The next item up for bids (due to the engine being @ the machine shop for
a couple of weeks) is the 9A tranny rebuild w/ bolt kit, 80% kit and 5th
swap. The one I got from the yard is crusty w/ caked crap and so is
presently under Gunk treatment in preparation for a trip to the car wash
and then the "real fun" begins.

Looking forward to the complete tear down <sic>.

Thanks again!

Tim
