Talked to A and A

Got a little warm here yesterday,36,and got the motor n trans pulled.Pulled the pan and valve body and it's got a 4.2 lever in it so I'm going stay with that.I took a look at the front band and it doesn't seem to have much facing on it maybe 1/16". Couldn't get a real good look at it because couldn't get the pump out. None of the holes in the pump where threaded,looks like they just thread into the housing. Watched utube vids and it looks like they threaded the slide hammer into the pump.Is there any certain holes I should use?Still looking for an unmolested valve body if anyone has one for sale.

If you look real close you'll see 2 holes in the pump are threaded to 3/8". The threads aren't always easy to see. I won't say it's impossible but in over 30 yrs of rebuilding torqueflite's I have yet to see one that didn't have threaded holes. Some smaller slide hammers are the correct size and thread. The front band lining isn't real thick even when new. I haven't actually measured the thickness but I'm sure it's no more than 1/8"
