71 Duster 360 (new project)

Back is pretty stiff in morning but loosen up as the day goes on...anyway..back to work on Duster...

After getting trans reassembled....It appears to have an excessive amount of end play....and then I find something lying on the floor...the thrust button that goes between the rear drum and drive train...well..this morning out comes the pump and clutch packs...in goes the thrust button (washer),,,,trans back together..

got it bolted to the back of the engine..and decided to try and install it....wow...the engine/tranny like fell in place...held the tti headers off to the side..and bingo...

must be getting good at this ......anyway..should have it all back together tomorrow evening...
